I think I’m going to try something for this blog - a little fun competition. Tomorrow the Six Nations starts, and instead of setting up a league for it like I usually do, I’m going to play a game where you can win a month’s advertising for this blog (yes, I know, not a great prize, but it’s only for fun).
The Six Nations is a fairly important rugby tournament involving the Home Nations, Ireland, Italy and France in a mini league. Over 5 weeks they play each other in a mini league, and this year anybody can win. Scotland and Italy had great world cups, England was a little lucky to do as well as they did, Wales and Ireland disappointed and the French are always there or thereabouts.
So what of this competition? Well, read below.
The Rules
What you have to do is predict the scores for each of the week’s fixtures. Whoever gets the most correct winners wins, or, if there’s a tie, the winner is the one who has the least score difference throughout the whole tournament. If that makes sense.
The Prize
One month 125 x 125 ad on my blog.
How to Enter
Simply predict the scores in each of the games and put it in the comment box (like my comment down there). Closing date is 2pm tomorrow (Saturday, before the Ireland vs Italy game). Good luck!
