Tri nations (Aus, NZ, SA)???



How can a team out of the 3 win?? i dont get how the system work sry. Is it like the team who win the most games in try nations wins??

The system is quite simple:
4 points for a win
Bonus points:
1 point for 4 or more tries
1 point to a team losing by 7 or less
At the end of the double round home/away series, the team who got the most points are the winners.
In 2004, all three teams won their home games, ending up with 2 wins ans 2 losses each. South Africa had accumulated the most bonus points, and ended up as winners.
Each team plays each other team home and away, and points are awarded on the same basis as the super 14.

4 for a win, a bonus point for 4+ tries, and a bonus point to the losing team should they be within 7 points.

Team with most points wins the cup.
SA is out as they only have the game away from home against NZ left and they have only won one game and lost 2 out of 4. NZ can do it on bonus points if they beat SA this weekend, even if they loose to Aus. If teams have the same points, i.e. same number of wins after 4 games, its down to bonus points. Bonus points are awarded for scoring a certain number of tries, loosing with a small margin etc. SA will most probably give NZ a huge favour by playing a second rate team again. So when NZ and Aus go into the final match it will be all tied as NZ have won SA twice, Aus have won NZ and SA once.
