What happens if the Premiership Cup final ends in a draw explained

There will be no shortage of drama should Monday’s Premiership Cup final end in a draw, with a number of possible scenarios on the cards if the teams cannot be separated after normal time. The decider sees Sale Sharks and Harlequins meet at the AJ Bell stadium (KO 7.45pm) as the two teams look to bag some silverware ahead of the Gallagher Premiership run-in.

And a draw after normal time would see a number of possible scenarios come into play, including the possibility of sudden-death place kicks.

If after 40 minutes of play each way the scores are level, there will be a five-minute break where the teams and players will remain on the pitch.

    What do Owen Farrell’s teammates think of his tackling? – | Alex Goode

    This will be followed be a standard period of extra time of 10 minutes each way, with a one-minute interval.

    If the scores remain equal after this period of extra time then the winner will be the team which has scored the most tries in the game (including extra time).

    If the scores are level and the number of tries scored is equal, then there will be a place kick competition to decide the game.

    In this scenario each team nominates three kickers who will attempt to slot the ball through posts from six designated positions on the 10 and 22-metre lines.

    If the scores are tied after the six kicks for each team, it will go to “sudden death” from the middle of the 10-metre line. The three kickers must have been playing at the final whistle of extra time.

    Why Henry Pollock's x-factor could earn him a Lions Test start

    Nick,

    I am a long suffering England fan, who has had to endure watching 4 years of dull rugby, poor selections and painful defeats. Steve Borthwick talks about GPS and picks squads by numbers and then we put in a poor performance on the pitch - it’s been a consistent trend.


    Something changed in the Six Nations and we totally changed our style (literally overnight) and played some really good footie, which finally felt like positive rugby for a change.


    Genge has regained his pore-Covid form and is looking back to his best and is head and shoulders above Porter.


    Chessum has had a good year and hasn’t played a poor International game this season.


    Tom Curry was outstanding in the 6 Nations but they have been playing him at 6, wheras he is better at 7 and is lethal at the breakdown.


    Tom Willis was brought into the starting team at 8 and has been one of the best England players over the last year, who should have been on this Lions tour at 8. Earl had his best game since 2020 last week - not sure 1 game warrants Lions selection over a poor combination side and he is certainly second choice for his club 7 country behind Willis.


    Pollock will be a good player but like all young emerging players, he is inconsistent and can go quiet in games, which is why Curry should be the starter at 7. He brings energy to games, which is why he is good from the bench but there is an argument to say he is the 5th best England openside (Curry x2, Underhill & Earl are currently better) but will improve over the next 5 years. We just need to stop the media building him up for a fall, let him play and develop and you will see a sensational Henry Pollock for the Lions in 4 years time.


    Lions will be too powerful over 80 mins, so doesn’t really matter who they pick. Just please don’t put too much hype on Pollock. His 20 mins of International rugby going into this tour were positive but the media caused a frenzy and no other player would be selected on this basis.


    Let’s enjoy the rugby and give Pollock the space and time he requires.
