Following the successes of our previous 6 Six Nations Forecasts and that for RWC2011 here is the forecast for the Rugby World Cup being held this September and October.

Entries £3 each or £5 for two.
There will be two prizes: 65% of total take to the winner with 25% to the runner up.
Should there be more than one winning entry each with the same number of forecast points there will be no runner up prize and the total prize pool of 90% will be shared by those entrants.
In the event there is more than one runner up that prize will be shared equally.

The concept is to maintain the interest of all participating forecasters throughout the tournament.
To this end the forecast is in three sections:
 The Pool Stage
 The Quarter Finals
 The Final Four
The Pool Stage
Your prediction is to be indicated by an X in the appropriate box [only one X per match]:
 Big Win [differential of 30 points or more] for 6 forecast points
 Small Win [differential of 29 points or less] for 3 points
 Draw for 9 points
The Quarter Finals
No need to nominate a country. Just enter your prediction against your selected Pool Winner or Runner Up. Again only one X per match.
Points available are the same as for the Pool Stage ie Big Win 6 points, Small Win 3 points.
Draws at the end of normal playing time ie before extra time are worth 9 points.

The Final Four
Simply predict the four semi-finalists by country in what you believe will be the final tournament order from the Winners [1st] 20 points, 2nd 15 points, 3rd 10 points down to 4th 5 points.
