You do not need to do them all at the same time, just as long a your match prediction is made before kick-off.

I will post each of the match weekends fixtures after the previous one has finished.

Good luck one and all : - )

Since it is very difficult to get right!

sorry.. haven't explained myself very well. 4 pts for correct outcome and 3 pts for exact score = 7

Exact winning margin points are added to the already accumulated range bonus:-

4 points for predicting the correct outcome.

Bonus points for predicting the correct outcome within certain ranges of the actual result:
Converted try (7 pts) = 1st bonus point
Drop goal (3 pts) = 2nd bonus point
Exact result = 3 additional bonus points

ah..... thanks Ian. Sorry for being so dim
