Rugby World Cup Competition 2007

Well, it was debatably the best Rugby World Cup to date, but there is no doubt that the Tonsley Events Rugby World Cup Competition was equally enthralling to those who entered. With so many surprises in the main tournament, the fanatasy game proved to be one of turmoil, frustration and excitement. Inevitably, small silos emerged with positions in the league being fiercly contested (see the League Position Tracker below). Duncan, Claire, Floody and Rob all had a taste of leadership, but ultimately Joe took it home. Yet again, Joe showed class (luck) in challenging the national league - at one point he was comfortably within the top 100 of 30,000 teams nationally.

But it wasn't always easy-going. Indeed, at 4.56pm on the Thursday when final submissions had to be submitted, sneaky-beaky Joe, keeping things under his hat until the last minute as usual, found his hat was stuck on his head: the computer said "no" and IT were summoned in to save the day.

When queried about his spurious team selection, Woolfy pointed out that Porn Stars United selection policy was on the basis of "most likely porn-star names" rather than any ability on a rugby pitch, or indeed, any likelihood of being selected to play on a rugby pitch! His zero-maintenance tactic left him proudly commanding the bottom of the table, with little challenge!

Meanwhile, slightly slower on the uptake and having smuggly made his Argentine selections at 7.55pm one night (and, yes, they were try-scoring too), Rob turned on the telly to find the second half was about to start! Whoops - GMT got you down Rob!? Nil points.

Well done to those who stuck with it. To those who like things a bit simpler, hang on in there for the Six Nations 2008.
