Well done London :-*

Happy with our performance too, we're back baby 8)

Berlin looking awesome too, hope they continue that form into next weeks clash against Dublin.

Might also be worth noting that Moscow won our third straight Peace Cup under me, with Joe Daniher winning the Jesaulenko/Pyke medal :3

It's official: London is Dublin's bogey team.

Go Ringo! Holz's players must be scared off London somehow :P.

Also, kudos to PNL breaking their duck against Seoul

No thanks to a rested Jackson Trengove but happy to break the losing-streak :D.

Also, awesome score Purps with a rested Treloar. Suns also looking scary with a few off full strength :-X.

Yep another decent win.

However, more selection dilemmas for us.

Hunter and Toumpas seem to have shaken the vest at their teams and scored well. Savage pushing for a recall in defence and Scott Selwood with the vest.

Too many passengers for the Thunder this week! Well served by Ollie Wines in his return, and Lachie Neale was huge again, but there wasn't much else to cheer about apart from that. Too good Rio!

And just because the new Admin has no respect for the rivalries of old...

As Bane points out... Moscow have won a 3rd Peace Cup in succession, with rising forward Joe Daniher taking out the Jesaulenko/Pyke Medal for best on ground, clearly inspired by his uncle Neale Daniher's struggles with MND.

The Mexico City Suns have won a 3rd North American Cup - probably just about the biggest one since the very first encounter in Round 1, 2012. They now have a 3-1 lead, with Kade Simpson taking away the Pyke Medal.

And finally, in what is turning out to be a one-sided affair, London Royals have maintained its utter dominance over Dublin, now holding a 4-0 lead in the British Isles Cup. Dan Hannebery takes away the Mynott/Kennelly medal, but should be noted that former medallists McVeigh and Stanton also had good games. Travis Boak has won the medal on the other side, so incredibly all 4 medallists played in the same match.
