Okay, in a brief summary this championships has two divisions, Blue and Red. Blue is the 'established' nations and Red is the 'others'.
So, given that there is a bit of a skill drop even within the Blue 'elite' division the concept of having a developing nation like Finland playing in the same pool as a powerhouse like Canada or USA is a bit much. However in theory there needs to be a method where any nation can go through to the gold.
So, top two Red Div teams get to play off against the Blue div teams after the end of the pool games as a sort of wild card entry. This is what happened today with Iroquois (3rd in Blue) playing Red 2 of Scotland and England (Blue 4) played Red 1 of Germany.
England 16 German 2 and Iroquois 28 Scotland 2 (12 nil first quarter).
Guess we all sort of saw that coming didn't we.
Tomorrow Australia play Scotland.
