Thirteen teams are competing in Clash of Countries this season... so far. The reigning champions from England are in front. Denmark is second (eager to reclaim the trophy) and Belgium is third. Last season’s number four, India is once again to be found in the fourth spot. Usually a lot changes between the second and third day, though, so watch out for tomorrow’s update...

Day 3 Update
Two more teams joined since yesterday, Serbia and Philipines. The Danes overtook England and now has a substatial lead of 14 points. Belgium is in third place, but they are only 5 points behind. The reigning champions really need to up their game. India is still in fourth place but Sri Lanka and Australia are not far behind. Team Quizzers Points

Day 5 update

Day 12 update
Okay, with two days to go, I am ready to call this season for the Danes. 31 points down to England in second place is so comfortable a lead, that they cannot fumble the ball on the touch down line. Seems like the eight time champions had something to prove after the English snatched the trophy in season 10. Belgium is still third, and it is unrealistic that they will move from that position either. Therefore, as so often before it is the battle for fourt place that draws our attention. India’s eight players have 46 points, Australia’s six players have 45 points, meaning that if they manage to get one more point than India in the last two days they will finish fourth. Finally, Sri Lanka is not entirely out of the race either with 6 players and 40 points. Who finishes best of those three teams will be revealed in two days time... Team Quizzers Points
