Considering both teams' points difference in the 4N's table are the same, does anyone know what will happen if England draw with NZ after 80 minutes?



Will England go through to the final having scored more tries and points than NZ?



Presumably, because its part of the round-robin, the match won't go to extra time.

No, it's the Kiwis apparently.

Apprently NZ are above England due to having a superior points percentage (read that somewhere, don't know what it means, or how it's measured), but presumably in the event of a draw they would still have the same advantage and so would go through.

It says in the League Express that NZ have a greater points average but I don't understand that.



Eng 42 and 20

NZ 36 and 12



???

With the term 'percent' being banded around, perhaps it is due to the fact NZ have scored 3 times as many points as they have conceeded (or 300%) whereas England have scored 2.1 times as many points as they've conceeded (210%).

You'd have thought it would have gone on points scored alone. Oh well, we'll win anyway.

It's 18/1 the draw on Skybet and you can probably get better odds elsewhere, must be worth a wager. If it comes down to this and NZ quailfy it will cost the RL a lot of money, and some sh-t will be flying around as points average now isn't the standard basis in different sports (points average means that a 4-2 win is better than a 26-24 one, which is contra to the ethos of RL).

In other words, the team with the fewest points conceded goes through...... but no, let's confuse people by calling it "points percentage"!

Ive put my free skybet £10 on england to win the tournement, 8/1



not impossible but I doubt it will heppen

When was it that we drew a test series with NZ and we controversially won the trophy? Around 2003 I think.

I went to that game, at Huddersfield. Paul Anderson had an absolute stormer off the bench.

www.gillette4nations.co.uk/4-nations-table currently has England second. Has there been any confirmation from the RFL or RLIF as to what will happen in the event of a draw?
