jamesmark Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 What was the odds on Scotland winning today? I know I would have not put money on it but thinking back now, would have been a nice little earner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenn Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Ah, nice to see you back. You left quickly after we beat you at Twickenham - was it something I said? Pray tell me, what makes you so sure we wont win at Cardiff? i just think it take something special to win all matches,and in this day and age,none of the teams have that.and france,allways pull something out of the bag ,even in the dying seconds ,including from there own line. just my opinion!!!!

Dragonball Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Well done Wales - makes the whole six nations far more interesting! Tell me - exactly when will they get rid of that bloody England coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 I have just been looking at the table here and even if Wales don't achieve a Grand Slam they are still looking good for overall winners. For France to emerge victorious, they would have to win today and against Wales next week and in doing so score 51 points with the opposition not scoring at all. This is due to the current points difference of Wales +65 and France +15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 So, it's Wales V France for the championship then and my earlier workings on the points differences were incorrect as i failed to take into account the negative impact any point France scored had on the welsh +/- DOH! For France to be outright winners, they have to beat Wales by 20 points other wise Wales win on points difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRASUZUKI Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I think you're safe, although it will be a good game to watch if France get their noses in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 I think you're safe, although it will be a good game to watch if France get their noses in front. I think it will prove to be the game of the tournament with both sides playing open rugby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRASUZUKI Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Let's hope so:) I just think the French will fold if Wales start well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Wales can continue with the momentum and England can build around players like Ciprianni (sp) then the match at Cardiff could be a cracker next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
