Quote: DGM "There's a little bit on the RLWC site, but wasn;t easy to find
The RLIF has approved that if Australia qualifies for a Quarter Final, it will play in Darwin. If NZ qualifies for a Quarter Final, it will play in Wellington.
If Australia and NZ were to play each other in a Quarter Final or Semi-Final, whoever finishes higher in the pool stage will get the home advantage.
If Australia and NZ make the Semi-Finals they will play in Brisbane and Auckland respectively.
The full Quarter Final fixture will be finalised at the conclusion of the pool stage, taking in to consideration hosting requirements.
Basically, it looks like even if England do beat Australia, they'll still be playing at Melbourne in the QF.'"
Thanks DGM!
For once - common sense prevailing here. I remember the AFC Asian Cup hosted in Australia in 2015 was a nightmare - The Socceroos were forced to play a semi-final in Newcastle when they had thousands dying to buy a ticket for the match in Sydney.
I suppose Melbourne isn't that bad
