PNG Kumuls makes the Quarter Finals (QF)
If the team PNG Kumuls makes the Quarter Finals (QF), the Kumuls will play (the team that comes 2nd in Pool A) in the 4th QF in Melbourne, Australia. The second *hot* team in Pool A in England, after Australia. Team PNG Kumuls may, most likely, meet England in the 4th QF on Sunday, November 19th.
The team that wins the 4th QF will play the team that wins the 3rd QF in the 2nd Semi-Final. A closer look at Pool B teams would reveal that New Zealand is likely to top the pool matches and play in that 3rd QF and proceed to the 2nd Semi-Final.
The PNG Kumuls team survives 4 weeks of competition and will see the team go head-to-head with the New Zealand Warriors in the 2nd Semi-Final match in Auckland, New Zealand.
