WXV Round 8: Can London do it again?

[Purple 77]

Unholy performance gets Saints the Win

Nothing to be gained in this match really. Maybe except that Christchurch have dipped below 140 for the second time this year; the first coming in Round 2. The Dillos really need a solid Captain, and a ruck wouldn't hurt either.

Dublin's Bogey Continues in London

This is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! Dublin still have NEVER beaten London; in all four of their encounters! London, however, certainly got lucky catching Dublin on their only off-week of the season (actually, maybe second), also to beat Dublin with a score of 134, is just nuts. Dublin incredibly only had 2 centurions! This is a team that fielded 14 dead-set guns, and 12 of them failed! Whereas London's score came pretty much solely from the midfield, with each of their midfielders tonning up, and led by the magnificent Dan Hannebery who would be taking home 3 Jim Stynes votes. Well done London!

Spetsnaz shoot down Revolution

I think it's well and truly time to take Moscow seriously now. Their last 3 scores have read 148, 149 and now 152, and when you consider the youth of this team... they're a sleeping giant really. Although New York had 6 centurions, they had 5 players score below 60, which ultimately led to the loss.

Reindeers Devour Magpies   

Seoul produced their second best score for the year, but it's just not enough to trouble a team in the top tier of the comp. The Reindeers exorcise a demon a week, and at this rate, will be pure come finals and hence a major threat.

Suns Burn Wolves Alive

Wow... yeah, they're back. Oh lordy, 10 centurions from Mexico City alone?! Wow. This is the team that Dublin would fear the most, especially when they are still not a full strength. Toronto wouldn't have been expected to win this week, but nonetheless, it has been a pretty underwhelming period for the Wolves. Will they bounce back?

PS: Sit down Mexico City, I outscored ya  :P It is the second time ever I will be Coach of the Round, the first was when my Captain Buddy kicked 13 in Launceston haha

Well, clearly haha.

Anyways, I don't need to beat you as badly now, given that London has done that for me >:D I'll settle for a small win though
