  1. FUN FACT: The German word for gloves is Handschuhs.  The Dutch opted for the similar Handschoenen. In France they are called Gants and the Japanese call them 手袋.
    The Japanese pronounce it "tebukuro".
    There are similar characters in Chinese, for "Shǒutào" [emoji4].
  2. For tomorrows games i've gone for :
    Italy by  +15 points    1st try   Benvenuti
    Scotland  +3                                Maitland
    England +35                               May
    A wee bit of side interest to have whilst watching the games.   Here's hoping Scotland win, by any margin.
     
    I have gone for big winning margins for Italy and England. +28 and +70.

    Just noticed Italy won by 25.
  3. Thanks for the link. Predictions for games up to Sunday sorted.  Most difficult one is us v Ireland, but i've gone for us to nick a close game.  Here's hoping.
    How are you doing? I have 35 points after 4 matches.
  4. Why was the Cup Final played on the 11th of April? Wasn't it always played in May as the final game of the season?
    It used to be played before the league season finished and there was a full programme of league games the same day, except for the finalists and Queen’s Park if they had a home game. Think it changed in the 70’s.
    I believe that the 1970 final was the last one to be played in April.
