It is nice to see so many members signing up and playing along and to be honest I am surprised with the high scores of this first round. With predicting the try-scorers some guys have been incredibly accurate! Seravia scored a total of 20 points with predicting the try-scorers alone! He was very lucky to pick Vereniki Goneva who scored 4 tries, giving him already 8 points.

With predicting the winners a lot of people got all 8 correct but some of you missed 2. Thingimubob and M Two One only got to 6. If the latter managed to predict at least the South African win, his score would have been 21, no need to explain...

Let's have a look at the log after round 1...

We see erwanseb who got stuck at 15 points and is holding the wooden spoon for now. He is only 3 points short of climbing up by beating Sneaki who holds 18 points.

When looking at the top of the log, 4 guys managed to score 40+ points. TRF_Ezequiel, he is known to be really cool, is in 3rd with 40 points together with the earlier mentioned Seravia. They both are only a couple of points behind the top2, which contains TRF_Getofmeland with 43 but the winner of round 1, and log leader is............... DAYLIGHTFIRE!!!!!

Congratulations on being top of the log after 1 round and I would like to welcome you guys for round 2, which starts the 14th!!!
