    Egg Chasers Predictions League 2025

    Rugby Union 6 Nations
    This is very much of a one off and an experiment and finding a scoring system for rugby tips isn't easy. We'll see if it works, and also if there is much interest. Obviously tipping exact scorelines is close to impossible here but and so rugby predictions leagues are based on tipping score differences.
    The scoring and tipping is as follows.

    For each fixture you start with 50 points before deductions.
    You tip the score difference eg. Ireland v England (Ireland to win by 10 clear points) - this can be expressed in any way you like as long as I understand it eg.
    Ireland v England (10)
    or if you think England will win then Ireland v England (10)
    or with plus or minus signs (plus for a home win, minus for an away win)
    Or just give your predictions in words.
    The difference between your tip and the actual result is taken away from your 50 points for the fixture.
    So if I tip Ireland to win by 10 points and England win by 5 then the difference would be 15 - so from my initial 50 only 35 would be left.

    The winner picks up the first ever Egg Chasers Cup.

    This all kicks off on Friday the 31st of January in Paris.

    31st Jan 1st Feb
    France v Wales (3) (this means France to win by 3 points)
    Scotland v Italy (6)
    Ireland v England (10)

    68' Fez sez: only way Wales will get into this is if the French have two sent off.
    70' one down, one to go.

    I'll be very surprised if that win bin isn't upgraded to red. Naughty "challenge".

    And there we have it. No doubt about it, straightforward shoulder charge.

    Well the first of 5 rounds is now over - with France, Scotland and Ireland all starting off on the front foot. A lot of us were there or there abouts with the Scotland and Ireland matches but way out on the France v Wales result. If anyone thinks tipping these matches is difficult, in the European Championships today (the tournament for the also rans) Georgia beat Switzerland today by 110-0. Unfortunately the Germans have zero interest in Rugby (their national team lost 10-43 to Romania yesterday) and the media only covers sports which they do well at. My only contact to Rugby here was a couple of trips to watch St. Pauli womens team whilst living in Hamburg.

    Just to explain the scoring again for the sake of transparency -
    with reference to my own miserable score
    France v Wales points difference 43 in favour of France - My prediction was 3 in favour of France. Difference equals 40. Taken away from the initial 50 for the fixture leaves 10 points which equals a minor disaster <doh>

    Our leading egg chaser is Hornet-Fez followed by Chris and Mrs Fez.
