Ciaran Fitzgerald salutes the crowd during Ireland's last Championship winning campaign. That'd be 1985 then.


So, here we are approaching the final weekend of an extremely schizophrenic Six Nations. For us poor souls trying to predict scores in the compeition there is no doubt a feeling of having been put through the grinder over the past 7 weeks. Of course that unpredictability makes for a great tournament though. What surprises may the final weekend bring? Leave your predictions in the comments below this post please.

Standings after round 4 (Lower is better):

Tom 225
PMC 227 (Closest prediction Eng -v- France Round 4, -10 Points)
Jap 269
Da Rossie 278
The Salmon Of Knowledge 279
Cahony 281
Egardoo 289 (Closest prediction Italy -v- Wales Round 4, -10 Points)
Dae 295
Francie 296
Colm 314 (Closest prediction Scotland -v- Ireland Round 4, -10 Points)
Incognito 335
Gib 386
Barabus 436
Murray 467
Bull 529
The Slippery Orange Ballcock 562
Lorenzo 564

Tom and PMcC are out in front, but now is the chance for the tightly bunched pack a couple of lengths back to make a run along the rails and pip them at the post. I know Tom and PMcC's prediction capital will be long exhausted with Cheltenham on this week. Remember, it's -30 points for an exact correct score in any game, something which hasn't been achieved by anyone yet.
