We know what you’re thinking: ‘Did anyone correctly predict that full-time score?’.
Records tumbled in the RDS Arena on Friday night when Leinster put 70 points and 10 tries on Zebre. It was the most points, the most tries and the most conversions ever scored by the province in a Guinness PRO12/Magners League/Celtic League game.
But did anyone predict such a successful evening at the RDS?
Full-time
Neither result here will surprise you. While every single FanScore player went for a Leinster win, not a single one predicted the final score.
So far we have yet to have someone correctly predict a full-time score…
Time of first points
Just 17% of players predicted the time of the game’s first points (Seán O’Brien’s try). Other than 100% of players calling a Leinster win, this 17% was as good as it got for predictions on Friday…
First try scorer
If you went for Seán O’Brien as our first try scorer on Friday, congratulations, just 4.5% of players went for the Tullow Tank. Impressive, until you see how many guessed the number of tries…
Total tries
If you correctly guessed the number of tries that would be scored on Friday you have magical powers and should go out and do the lotto immediately.
1.2% – that’s the percentage of players that went for 10 tries in Friday’s game. ‘Nice round number, but it’ll never happen.’ That’s what you think!
The 7% of players that went for nine tries may have been secretly hoping Jamie Heaslip somehow conspired not to score that 10th try in the game’s final moments…
Man of the Match
Rory O’Loughlin may have bagged himself a hat-trick, but you were in no doubt that Garry Ringrose was your Leinster FanScore Man of the Match with 42% of the vote. The returning Johnny Sexton (14%), Seán O’Brien (12%), Rory O’Loughlin (11%) and Luke McGrath (8%) all get an honourable mention, but it was the Blackrock College man that stood out on Friday.
