Missed PK records?

[chopper15]

Any way of calculating the two teams who would be in the final if all the PKs were successful?

do that for each match and you'll have your answer.

Any way of calculating the two teams who would be in the final if all the PKs were successful?

A pointless exercise. When a PK is missed at any time in the game, the game itself restarts in a different place i.e. 22m instead of half way. so when a team misses the kick (and the three points), you have no way of knowing the difference between what might have happened next (if the kick succeeded), and what actually happened next. The earlier in the game, the less predictable the effect of an unsuccessful (or successful) kick at goal.

e.g. Red misses a PK, Blue drops-out from the 22, but the restart is charged down by Red 10, who regathers the ball and runs through unopposed to score under the posts. That is seven points to Red that they would not have had if the kick had been successful.

The only definite case when you can work out the result is an unsuccessful PK right on full-time.

Even the effect of a conversion can be unpredictable, despite the fact that the game always starts the same way regardless of whether it is successful.

e.g. Red score a try in the corner, but miss the conversion so that they are only two points ahead of Blue with 10 minutes to go. Blue's approach to those last ten minutes would have been very different had the conversion gone over, because they would need a try to win, but with the missed conversion, they only need a dropped goal or a PK.
