WXV Semi Finals: Suns v Islanders, Cobras v Armadillos

[Purple 77]

August Arma-geddon

How do they keep lifting for finals?! Once again Buenos Aires have followed the premiership winning formula, of dipping just prior to finals, lulling the opposition into a false sense of security, before BAM!

Chad Warner's early heroics was not enough to deter the Dillos, who just kept on scoring. Could they be the first ever 3-peat team?

For Cape Town, it all went wrong, and they'll be frustrated at its stars for failing to show up in August.
