Every game is composed of two halves of 8 minutes each. In the event of a tie the teams will be desciminated by
We are in pool C and will play a team from pool D in our quarter final. If we are competing in the cup we will be one game away from Twickenham as the cup semi and final is played there. If we are in either the plate or bowl we would also have to play a semi final if sucessful in the quarters. |
