After the group rounds the teams finish in the top 4 places, move forward to the knockout rounds, with the grand finals being in week 14.
The top 2 teams in each group will earn home games in knockout round 1, but the 1st place team also earns a home fixture in the Quarter Finals, as a reward for topping their groups. Their opponents will be drawn at random from the teams who finished 3rd & 4th place. All subsequent home and away fixtures will be drawn at random..
The Wooden Spoon knockouts will feature the 24 teams that finish in 5th position in the group tables, and will be broken down into Gold, Silver & Bronze.
Tied Fixtures.
If after 80 minutes the scores are tied, the Blackout Rugby tie-breaking rules will be applied, which means there will be extra time followed by a kicking competition. | Click on links below to access finals pages.
