Phil & Rex are slugging it out at the head of the field, and a few have dropped by the wayside.
The Scotland/Japan & England/Wales results have had the most affect on splitting up those of us still in the running.

Cheers

Phil & Rex were duking it out earlier, but it seems they missed a few games.
I hope I have things right, if you have any queries or comments, please just get in touch.
Phil has the best strike rate at 91%.

Cheers

Here's the latest after the quarter finals.
These results are based on 3 points for the WIN pick & 1 for the less/more MARGIN bit.
It has certainly done what was intended, which was to provide a means of a tie-break.
Hopefully, that will still work for the last 4 games.

Commentary
Team Valerie has a bit of a march on the field, must have an astute analytical dude on the support staff.
That Opotiki fella is recovering after being caught in a ruck & trampled by Team JennyLeez in a rush into 2nd place. The sprig marks are now showing signs of improvement & the crusty bits have fallen off.   
Mark remains in touch & Phil, despite missing a handful of picks is not far off either.
And Phil still has the best strike rate.

Cheers

Here's the latest up to the end of the Semi Finals.
My hopes that the less/more bit would be an effective tie break has hit a road bump. (pot hole more like  )
Looking at the picks so far, chances are that the last 2 matches will not bring about definite 1st 2nd & 3rd place getters. So, unless something unusual happens, it's looking very much like a count back on the less/more results will be required.

Commentary
Team Valerie has strengthened their position at the pointy end, and support staff member Harry the cat is definitely earning his keep.
Mark his leapt in to a share of 2nd place with JennyLeez while Phil must have had an off weekend as he has slipped down a few spots.
Phil's strike rate is still right up there, but has just been overtaken by Rwood, but on far fewer picks.

Cheers     

...and a big thanks to Wolfie33 for running the competition. It was alot of fun. I can see my strike rate needs a bit of work!!!!!

Yaaa to girl power and Harry whose real name is Harriet, another girl. Thanks Wolfie it has been fun. Bring on the next competition.
