WXV 2014 Fixture

[Master Q]

Even though I've always thought that the grand final replay should be played in round 1 I'm not happy that it is actually happening. Now it means I have to work out my best XV from the get go rather than waiting a few weeks to see who is actually performing this season...

Wow that video is extremely stupid. I was surprised when I checked the comments section and people agreed with me...

You live, you learn.  ;)

Unless you're Torp.

Moscow aren't the team with 15 fossils as starters.  :P

At least Nails doesn't change teams when he ruins them  ::)

This is also on the second post of the this thread:

The fixtures for the Regional Premierships (yes, I know the home games aren't even - but it will switch next year!)

Africonia Fixture

Decided over Six consecutive rounds from WXV rounds 6 to 11! (Entirely on purpose, honest). Can Cape Town make it three in a row? Cairo would have to be favourite, with Wellington and Pacific fighting it out for last? But stranger things have happened!

Wellington Warriors   v   Cairo Sands   The Basin Reserve   Round 6   
Cairo Sands   v   Pacific Islanders   Borg El Arab Stadium   Round 7   
Cape Town Cobras   v   Cairo Sands   Newlands Cricket Ground   Round 8   African Cup
Wellington Warriors   v   Pacific Islanders   The Basin Reserve   Round 9   Oceania Cup
Cape Town Cobras   v   Wellington Warriors   Newlands Cricket Ground   Round 10   
Pacific Islanders   v   Cape Town Cobras   BSP Stadium, Suva, Fiji   Round 11   

Americas Fixture

A very competitive field! I can't split the Suns/Pumas/Armadillos for this, while Toronto aren't out of the running either. Poor New York is 0-8 after 2 years of competition. The last 2 rounds likely decides this!

Sao Paulo Pumas   v   Mexico City Suns   Colombia   Round 1   
Buenos Aires Armadillos   v   Toronto Wolves   Estadio de River   Round 3   
Toronto Wolves   v   Sao Paulo Pumas   Rogers Centre   Round 4   
New York Revolution   v   Sao Paulo Pumas   MetLife Stadium, New Jersey   Round 5   
Buenos Aires Armadillos   v   Mexico City Suns   Estadio de River   Round 7   
Buenos Aires Armadillos   v   New York Revolution   Estadio de River   Round 8   
New York Revolution   v   Mexico City Suns   MetLife Stadium, New Jersey   Round 9   
Mexico City Suns   v   Toronto Wolves   Guadalajara   Round 16   North American Cup
Toronto Wolves   v   New York Revolution   Rogers Centre   Round 17   
Sao Paulo Pumas   v   Buenos Aires Armadillos   Estadio do Pumas   Round 17   Rhythm Cup

Asian Fixture

New Delhi have miracolously won both years - despite being the lowest scoring team and the second lowest scoring team in 2012 and 2013 respectively. Can they do it again? This will be a very competitive Region (like the Americas, but opposite!). I'll back Tokyo for the win, but without any confidence.

New Delhi Tigers   v   Tokyo Samurai   Pakistan   Round 1   
New Delhi Tigers   v   Seoul Magpies   Tata Stadium   Round 3   
Seoul Magpies   v   Beijing Thunder   Seoul World Cup Stadium   Round 4   
Beijing Thunder   v   New Delhi Tigers   Beijing Olympic Park   Round 14   Billions Cup
Tokyo Samurai   v   Beijing Thunder   Tokyo Olympic Stadium   Round 15   
Seoul Magpies   v   Tokyo Samurai   Seoul World Cup Stadium   Round 17   Asian Cup

Europe Fixture

Moscow and London are the premiers from 2012 and 2013, and both will be in the running this year. PNL always a dark horse, while Berlin is on a hattrick of spoons! But, Dublin will be the favourite to take this out. In a quirk of the fixture, all of London's matches are done after round 6.

Berlin Brewers   v   London Royals   Ukraine   Round 1   
London Royals   v   Moscow Spetsnaz   London Olympic Stadium   Round 4   
PNL Reindeers   v   London Royals   Stade du Ray   Round 5   
London Royals   v   Dublin Destroyers   London Olympic Stadium   Round 6   British Isles Cup
Moscow Spetsnaz   v   PNL Reindeers   Luzhniki Stadium   Round 8   
PNL Reindeers   v   Berlin Brewers   State de France   Round 9   European Cup
Dublin Destroyers   v   Moscow Spetsnaz   Crooke Park   Round 9   
Berlin Brewers   v   Dublin Destroyers   Berlin Olympic Stadium   Round 10   
PNL Reindeers   v   Dublin Destroyers   State de France   Round 14   
Moscow Spetsnaz   v   Berlin Brewers   Luzhniki Stadium   Round 17   

AAP Alliance Fixture

(Note: Africonia and Americas matches contribute to this premiership)

An Americas team will have to be favourite to take this out, but Cairo could prove difficult. Sao Paulo and Mexico City have taken out this premiership undefeated, before going on to not win the overall flag!

Buenos Aires Armadillos   v   Cape Town Cobras   Ethiopia   Round 1
New York Revolution   v   Pacific Islanders   Iran   Round 1
Cape Town Cobras   v   New York Revolution   Newlands Cricket Ground   Round 2
Wellington Warriors   v   New York Revolution   The Basin Reserve   Round 4
Pacific Islanders   v   Buenos Aires Armadillos   Linkbelt Oval, Aiwo, Nauru   Round 4
Mexico City Suns   v   Wellington Warriors   Fireball Stadium   Round 8
Mexico City Suns   v   Pacific Islanders   Fireball Stadium   Round 10
Toronto Wolves   v   Cairo Sands   Rogers Centre   Round 10

Toronto Wolves   v   Wellington Warriors   Rogers Centre   Round 12
Wellington Warriors   v   Sao Paulo Pumas   The Basin Reserve   Round 13
Pacific Islanders   v   Toronto Wolves   Oakley Arena, Tonga   Round 13

Cape Town Cobras   v   Sao Paulo Pumas   Newlands Cricket Ground   Round 15
Buenos Aires Armadillos   v   Wellington Warriors   Estadio de River   Round 16
Mexico City Suns   v   Cairo Sands   Fireball Stadium   Round 17

EurAsia Fixture

(Note: Europe and Asian matches contribute to this fixture)

This premiership was decided by only 0.01% with Moscow pipping London, with Dublin and Berlin not that far behind either. The theme? It seems unlikely that an Asian team will knock of one of the Europeans for the flag.

PNL Reindeers   v   Seoul Magpies   Turkey   Round 1
Seoul Magpies   v   Dublin Destroyers   Seoul World Cup Stadium   Round 2
Tokyo Samurai   v   Dublin Destroyers   Tokyo Olympic Stadium   Round 4
Beijing Thunder   v   Moscow Spetsnaz   Beijing Olympic Park   Round 7
New Delhi Tigers   v   London Royals   Wipro Stadium   Round 7
London Royals   v   Tokyo Samurai   London Olympic Stadium   Round 8
Berlin Brewers   v   Beijing Thunder   Berlin Olympic Stadium   Round 8
London Royals   v   Seoul Magpies   London Olympic Stadium   Round 10
Moscow Spetsnaz   v   New Delhi Tigers   Luzhniki Stadium   Round 10
New Delhi Tigers   v   Berlin Brewers   Nepal   Round 11
Tokyo Samurai   v   Moscow Spetsnaz   Tokyo Olympic Stadium   Round 11
Berlin Brewers   v   Tokyo Samurai   Berlin Olympic Stadium   Round 12
Beijing Thunder   v   PNL Reindeers   Beijing Olympic Park   Round 12
Dublin Destroyers   v   Beijing Thunder   Crooke Park   Round 13

Berlin Brewers   v   Seoul Magpies   Berlin Olympic Stadium   Round 14
New Delhi Tigers   v   PNL Reindeers   Tata Stadium   Round 15
PNL Reindeers   v   Tokyo Samurai   State de France   Round 16
Dublin Destroyers   v   New Delhi Tigers   Crooke Park   Round 16
London Royals   v   Beijing Thunder   London Olympic Stadium   Round 17

Good to see Cairo being rated.  8)

[Purple 77]

This is going to be an awesome side-on to the Home & Away season, I reckon it will be taken very seriously be a few teams coming to the end of the season especially! Awesome idea oz

[Ringo]

Hope London do not fall in the hole this year - Tailed off towards the end of the season costing us a few more trophies and points.
