@rlcoachonthenet That’s what they used to determine the 1st and 2nd seed though so they should of stayed consistent or done a live draw for those pools ? - and the only rankings they have due to the or international game
@Sharks111064831 Points v Samoa
Head to head v Tonga
Tonga (5th seed) can lose a game (so could rest the best for the semis rather then go at Samoa and go through without the care of points difference
😂
@rlcoachonthenet That’s clearly wrong isn’t it both Samoa and England had a must win fixture ,
Tonga got a if you don’t win that then you can qualify by a 2nd bite - the have the chance so be it to rest players again next week if they want to for the semis
@RNEditss@AaronBower Exactly so the 5th seed got a chance to lose a game and it’s still in theirs hands 🙌 that’s the point being 3rd seed that should be englands spot
@Craig_Haz@AaronBower Your right of course on that ,
but the format of this cup has still favoured the 1st ,2nd and 5th seeds
If the argument was that for the first group as they are 1st and 2nd so you can’t then choose a different reason for the rest surely ?
@LiamWilliamsSJ@JRH1865 Tonga despite potentially the harder fixtures only had to win one of the 2 hard ones the team they beat essentially go out for some reason can get the points next week reliant on Tonga acing their game
