Halfway to the final show

The third round of the 5724 Six Nations rugby tournament in Valruzia has finished today! Hel and Gryfitów have seen thrilling matches during this round, so let's analyze them! 

In the men's tournament in Gryfitów, Kalistan, Valruzia and Luthori have been the respective winners of their games. Keeping on their unbeatable streak, the Kalistani side has scored 60–5 against the Lodamese team, keeping their status as first-placed and running way ahead of second-placed Valruzia, whose last minute win against the Mordusian side has decided who becomes the runner-up for this day. Meanwhile, Luthori has won its first game against last-placed Bianjie by 24-12, with the Dovanian side unable to secure a victory for the third day and placing at the bottom of the table.  

In the women's side, however, we have to start with the big surprise of the day, as the Bianjian side performed an extremely impressive comeback against Kalistan, defeating them by 24-22 and placing third for now! In the stadium, you could see fans going crazy after their team has now won 2 games against one, placing technically in a tie with first-placed Lodamun and runner-ups Valruzia. The hosts won their match against Lodamun in a match that sometimes looked more like a battlefield and not a rugby field! Both teams attacked and defended aggresively, and thus a low score of 19-15 decided the winner. The last game of the day, Luthori v. Mordusia, was won by the Luthorian side, securing their second victory in the female tournament and therefore attempting to make a run for the first place too, as all first four teams are now placed with 2 victories and a loss.
