It's really great to see the lesser fancied sides competing in these games. I think we will only see 100 points threatened once in this competition, when NZ play Namibia. Romania haven't been all that good in recent years but here they're properly competing and look fully deserving of playing...

Good game though. 3-3 surely here

But that's just an error with the fixtures. The way it's currently set up, one team sits out the final round. Ridiculous.
