Apologies for no updates on final league results prediction recently – I’m having one or two gremlins in the code, but hoping to find some time to fix them shortly. Back to full service with both the leagues this week as the November Internationals draw to a close. Interestingly, these weeks provide a particular challenge … [Read more…]

All my bets came through and eight out ten matches correctly called, and the two upsets (Racing Metro and Leicester) were in what were predicted to be close games. More worrying maybe was the crush that the … [Read more…]

On a practical level, I just have a lot less data on the French teams compared to the others in the competition because ESPN … [Read more…]
Ho hum. Another week of 9/12 correct predictions, but 2 of my 4 bets didn’t come off. In terms of the results themselves, Connacht pulled off an important win in Treviso, Ulster showed why they’re still contenders by mauling Glasgow at home and Leinster had a scrappy if ultimately comprehensive away victory over Zebre. In … [Read more…]
