WXV Round 6: British Isles and Peace Cups on the line

[Toga]

Really happy with Aish's score this week, and I thought Mayes and Wines performed pretty well also but there were a lot of passengers once again. Getting Shiels & Caddy back will be a huge help!

BTW Oz just on our reserves, we rested Matt Jones this week... Does he count in our reserves score?

Wow, we even got outscored by reserves teams.  :-[

Isn't that rare tbh. It's a result of reserves score being divided by 5 and seniors by 10.

Idc, I'm trying to highlight our piss poor effort.  :P

Yeah, it counts. Any player not in your XV that plays that week counts towards the reserves.

These results would have to have the coaches of Mexico City Suns and Buenos Aires Armadillos licking their lips. The coaches are now gifted with the knowledge that no matter what happens next week in their match up where one team will likely suffer their first loss the worst thing that can happen to that team is to fall to 2nd.

Buenos Aires and Mexico City 2 games in front of 3rd place. A tie would be good for both teams enabling them to be 1.5 ahead of the rest of the pack.

[Toga]

Cool, cheers guys ;)

Go Shanghai!

4 wins on the trot has put my season back on track :)

But it's going to be a tricky fixture next week away to the Reindeer :-\

[roo boys!]

Jeez even a high scoring one in the reserves this week! Managed to pull out 135 to stay undefeated, very unlucky HP and Daz, PNL probably one of if not the unluckiest side in the comp!*

*cue Tokyo injury list, CF enquiring about Harwood, etc :P

[CrowsFan]

Haha no I know I can't complain about luck when PNL are involved RB ;)

Wolves Make Statement

In a high scoring affair, Toronto finally put in an all-round display to get the points over the fancied Reindeers.

A terrific match, and a typical PNL game!

Toronto Wolves (23.20.158) defeated PNL Reindeers (22.17.149)

Reserves
Toronto Wolves (20.15.135) defeated Marseille Kings (19.11.125)

Congratulations on the win RB, Wolves are certainly coming now after a rocky start to the season! Just our luck at PNL, but glad we are performing at a high level! Think we've only been defeated by scores over 150, so our defence is certainly doing their job this year :P. Our all round effort wasn't enough to stop the stand outs over at the Wolves, but we tried our best :D.

Hopefully we can grab a scalp in the Pumas next week, if we continue in current form >:D.

[Nails]

Toronto, Buenos Aires 158 defeat opponents Berlin and PNL 149

if Ossie had fixtured this slightly differently we'd have two games go down to the 4 digit figures :o

Montagna inspires Tiger Victory

In a game with few stars, New Delhi scored its 3rd win of its season thanks largely to a superb effort by captain Leigh Montagna.

Only Cape Town's Josh Kennedy can hold his head up high.
