England managed the later stages properly against Poland by scoring single shots in the last 2 ends to win by 7-5. They then showed how to do a really good job by scoring 4 shots in the 7th end against Denmark, leading to a concession, and winning 9-2.
They now sit undefeated after 4 games at the top of the table beside Korea, with Netherlands and New Zealand on 3 wins. The next closest teams are on 1 win, so the 3 combatants for the play-offs should come from these teams. England's final two round robin games against New Zealand and Korea will decide their fate, but it's looking good if they can continue to hold their nerve. One consolation is that Netherlands have both Korea and New Zealand to play on the 22nd as well, so one of these teams is going to be losing at least once, perhaps twice.
Whoever drew the order of play for this tournament has done a tremendous job in maintaining interest right to the last game!
