When I catch rugby on tv, I like to watch. But I know nothing of the rules, 😂 

Formula 1 is a different matter for me…👍

1. Lions to win

2. 1-7 winning margin

3. Yes, a clean sweep by the Lions

4. Lando Norris, payback for last year’s BS

5. Safety car? No, rarely at this track. Virtual Safety Car? Possible, but I’ll still say no.

6. Under 35 laps

Tie Breaker: Under 50.5

A massive hats off to the Aussie team and all their fans. That was some effort. I hope there's been the next generation of Aussie schools age lads watch that and get inspired to wear the green and gold.

Believe it or not, deciphering an outright winner here was only slightly less complex than atmosphere re-entry equations on Apollo 13. I'm sweating. 

I think @loose_axle just nudges it with 4 questions + the tie-breaker correct. 

However, @MagicalBikeRide, if you wish to launch a protest, please let me know. Technically, you had the same. But I assume the winning margin in the Rugby had to relate to the team you picked to win, even though that's not stated. 🤔

If I'm reading it wrong, let me know. 

PM me your details / protests 

[riderpride]

Congratulations @loose_axleand possibly @MagicalBikeRidelol.

Cheers!

[my happy place]

I think we should roll the week over, have @loose_axle and @MagicalBikeRide fight it out in a epic grudge match of tiddly winks. And we can all bet on the eventual winner/margin.   

[MagicalBikeRide]

As much as I would like a sampler, I don’t think I could take this one @MoeFOH. It felt pretty obvious (to me at least) that the winning score margin would relate to the team that was picked as the winner. Also assumed there was just one prize / one winner. Enjoy it @loose_axle - all yours!

Very gracious of you matey and thank you. I’m still slightly bemused as I never thought I had a chance of being close. 

[Chibearsv]

A classy loss and gracious win. Well done gents.
