I am planning which games i need tickets for. And cant really understand the schedule!! ( i know ! im stupid)  Can anyone tell me, is there any way of knowing which semi final England are most likely to be in? The Sydney Semi or the Brisbane Semi? or will this be something ill have to wait to find out after the tournament kicks off? 

Do you reckon it'll be possible to get the tickets for which ever semi final i need to while im over there?

Me and a few friends plan to hire a campervan and travel to all the games, anyone else doing that?

Cant wait

Cheers

Gee that is a tough one.

Well I think its tough to know exactly where a team will finish, But I think that England will be either 2 or 3, thus I would bank on Brisbane semi finals.

... now wait for the critisism to start... England for number 1? Hehe... ;)

So im assuming 2nd plays 3rd , and 1st plays 4th for the semis? Where would i find this kind of information? the schedule isnt overly clear. and where does it say that 2nd and 3rd placed semi is at brisbane? or am i being a bit dumb??

cheers for your help

Yep Team A2 plays A3 and team A1 plays the winner of the qualifier Team B1 vs. Team C1.

http://www.rlwc08.com/schedule/default.aspx I see what you mean, doesn't have who is who.

http://www.rlef.eu.com/competitions08.htm This one not that much better

http://www.rugbyleagueinternationalscores.com/International/2008  Not sure where I got this info last year when I did it up... I think it was the old RLIF web site. I think someone needs to go and confirm these.

I hope you know driving distances and driving times for Oz.

 

I've had english friends ask if they can just pop up to Australia Zoo, north of brisbane, from Gosford for a quick day trip in the car..  they had no idea how big this country really is.

Struth, its a day trip from brisbane by car to aussie zoo, talking about rockky again, if anyone is there the irish pub does the best bangers and mash you will ever see. If you seen the movie cool hand luke, this is what its like trying to eat the whole plateful of food.

basically the team that finish top of the super group plays it's semi final in sydney & the teams that finish 2nd and 3rd in the super group plays against each other in brisbane..

The Wikipedia page is fairly easy to understand (hopefully it is correct):

I've gone by this and bought tickets for the Brisbane Semi-Final. I'm coming from NZ and thinking they'll come 2nd or 3rd in pool play. If they do happen to come 1st then it will be Australia v England in Brisbane and I'm sure I'll be able to sell my tickets and pick some up for the Sydney Semi-Final.

Famous last words, I would not count on that.

I wouldn't be so sure, why not get tickets for both and if you only want to see 1 sell the other tickets. That's if NZ even make the finals, PNG could upset NZ or England, hell maybe even australia..

Thanks all for your help,

much appreciated.

Copa yes ive looked into the distances and times for driving. ( id be pretty stupid not to before doing something like this!!! ) and ive been to aussie before so dont worry i know its a big place! thanks for your concern
