Six Nations Competition 2007

CLOSED:
WINNER:

17th March 2007
Joe Bruce


Thanks to all for taking part - it certainly added another dimension to the Six Nations.

Congratulations to Joe, finishing top of our league and 350th overall (someway removed from 20th out of the 35,000 national teams a few weeks earlier, but nevertheless an impressive result) and to Tom and Woolfy for piling on the pressure towards the end. Many teams pushed through the benchmark and beat the Tonsley XV League Team. Some blatantly fell to the back and resigned to wooden spoons. Check out the final league standings below.

A special mention to Rob, demonstrating a poor performance throughout with a stubborn insistence that James Hook was the fly half of choice - only saved from humiliation by a last gasp effort by Wales.

Regardless of the quality of the rugby and some spurious selections, there's no denying some exciting finishing games to churn up the team strategies.

We might tweak it a bit next time... bring on the World Cup!

A great start for the the Tonsley Events league. A special mention must really go to Joe with his Tonsley Tornados who have not only blown the rest of the league into the weeds in topping the table, but actually taken up position 50 amongst the 33,806 teams nationwide (and only 3 points off the Metro Top 20 Leaderboard)!

Our league team, the TONSLEY XV, has served its purpose as a worthy benchmarker, sitting mid-way across the league with 80 points.

Meeting this benchmark were Mincers Munchers. Suffolk N Good weren't bad and the NaeNumpties were nae numpty neither. Paddys Cruisers had a good run while the Tonsley Tryhards broke the tonne. Large certainly were not small and the Hookers actually needed props (on that note, Woppa's Chip Shoppers would do well on a diet). Not even a nutshell separated KP from the Billy Bekas, both teams nudging The Mudges. At the top of the league, the Tornados caused havoc with Brown Wings tight behind.

However, below our benchmark TONSLEY XV was a slightly disappointing performance from the not-so-Gooders Ruckers. The Magnificent Sevens were eight men short and Harry Von Red-pigs were bloody indeed. The Tonsley Trymasters could learn a trick from the Tryhards. The Roosters needed their boosters, the Legends died young and Bath didn't clean up. Heaven's Game got lost somewhere in Purgatory while, also lacking direction, Egg Chase went round in circles. The Fazy Luckers did sweet FA and Geds Giants were badly measured. But, to cap it all, White got Stuffed.

And that was Week One. Don't forget to make your transfers for Week Two's matches by 5pm Friday (you're allowed three each).

As the top finishers this week, Joe (Tonsley Tornados) and Tom (Brown Wings) will each make one of the transfers for the TONSLEY XV league team. As a balancer, White Stuff's Simon can make the third!
