Below is a table showing the scores from all the games played so far and on the right the projected Total Points Projection based on the scores up to (and including) that game.
| England | 36 | 11 | Italy | 705 |
| Ireland | 30 | 21 | France | 735 |
| Scotland | 13 | 26 | Wales | 685 |
| France | 22 | 13 | Scotland | 645 |
| Wales | 23 | 15 | England | 630 |
| Italy | 9 | 38 | Ireland | 643 |
| France | 21 | 16 | Wales | 630 |
| Scotland | 26 | 6 | Italy | 611 |
| Ireland | 14 | 13 | England | 588 |
This last weekends low points brought it to below 600 and places Liz Williams from Cell at the University of Glamorgan closest with her 589 prediction. Still 2 weekends to go though, and you never know which way its going to go.
The winner will walk (or run) away with £58. Not a bad little haul.

6 Nations Sweepstake so far
by andy on Feb.16, 2009, under Blog
Previous total = 137
France v Scotland = 22 +13 = 35
Italy v Ireland = 9 + 38 = 47
Wales v England = 23 + 15 = 38
Which gives a total of 257 and average of 42.83 per game. Multiply this by 15 and you get a projected score after the second weekend of 642.5, which is closest to Pete Brigham so far. As yo can see, this is lower again then the previous weeks.
