WOMEN'S RUGBY WORLD CUP 2017

HOW DOES THIS COMPETITION WORK?

There are 12 teams in this competition with 4 teams in 3 different "Pools".

Each Team must play the other 3 teams in their Pool.

For a win they will receive 4 Points on the Table. A draw will provide 2 Points. A Bonus Point will be awarded for the team that gets 4 or more Tries in any one game.

THE WINNER OF EACH POOL ALONG WITH THE BEST RUNNER-UP WILL GO FORWARD TO PLAY IN THE SEMI-FINALS

What if two or more teams earn the same amount of points at the end of the three Rounds? This is where Points Difference come in.

To work out the Points Difference, You add up all the scores of a particular Team from Tries, Conversions and Penalties. Then you deduct all the points scored against that same team by their opposing Teams in their Pool. This will leave you with the Points Difference.
The tying team with the better Points Difference will be the winning team.

Thank You Pat for your company this afternoon <3

Thank You to any of you who have taken the time to look in on the Rugby Thread today :-)

Hi Everyone :-) :-) :-)

Due to a medical emergency with Grandson 1 I have not been able to cover the first Semi Final. The second half is kicking off now with the score standing at New Zealand Women 15 ~ USA Women 7.

I am hoping to be here for the second semi final later England Women v France Women
I shall post final scores, match reports and announce the finalists later

Hi everyone,~~~~~~~~~~~ :-) looks like NZ will go through. Looking forward to match tonight. Come on England. Hope your grandson ok Jemima. <3

Hi Hilary :-) <3

Lovely to see you.
Thankyou for your concern about GS1. He has the debilitating Dissociative Attack Syndrome which causes him to have seizures and black outs among other things. It's a dreadful thing for a boy of just 18 to have.

He had a seizure this afternoon and has fallen and hurt his neck.

He's still waiting to see the doctor in the hospital after being there for hours now. OH is there with him at the moment. He's not had food, so I will have to make him dinner when he gets in.

I will not be doing a running commentary, but I have the game on here, and will try to pop in depending on the situation here.

Hope it's not too serious.

Mersey is on the daily thread. She went to a Tudor hall owned by Bess of Hardwick and fell down the stairs :-0. I did ask her is she'd done any damage as it was near where I used to live and I loved that place. :-D

No worries Jemima, hope he is ok. I can't type very fast, 1 finger job. Hiya Pat, see you are twirling again. <3

Evening Hilary :-D <3

Hi Again Hilary :-D <3

England are certainly in with a good chance of getting through to the final :-)
