WXV Round 8: Can London do it again?

[Jroo]

Go London

[Purple 77]

have you taken HGA into consideration Purps - Will await final confirmation.  may have stuffed up but have us losing by a couple.

I most certainly did  :D

[Jukes]

London beat Dublin
Moscow beat London
Cairo beat Moscow

Cairo for premiership?

[Purple 77]

Hmm. The SC scores are on the site now, but I don't trust them. They're the same as the pre-scaled FF live scores.

Write-ups might be delayed somewhat.

[Memphistopheles]

Another horribly patchy performance from Cape Town.

Some good scorers, some bad and plenty of good scores in the reserves again (S Reid, Toumpas, Savage).

I think we won thanks to Bont struggling as their captain, but still lots of room for improvement.

[Purple 77]

Ah, good gut-feel Dom John.

The correct scores are now posted  8)

[Jukes]

idk if we'll beat the 149 we had last week, but I'm a hell of a lot more impressed with this week's performance than last

Far far far more consistent!

[Purple 77]

But before I go away and start the reviews, I can confirm...

LONDON HAS WON BY 8 POINTS AT CROOKE PARK!

This dominance is crazy! Dublin HAVE NEVER BEATEN LONDON!

[ossie85]

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

[Ringo]

You may have to check again Purps because SC scores have changed again.

[Purple 77]

You may have to check again Purps because SC scores have changed again.

I've definitely got the correct Rich/Port scores.

Unless it's a previous game?

But even then, I was diligently checking... I'll back myself I've recorded correctly for now, and when I put all the scorecards up, we'll have a look then.

Berlin Brew Extra Cold to Tigers

So yeah, this happened... a week too early! Every Berlin player contributed, with Colin Garland's 71 being the HGA this week. Even the Berlin's emergencies scored 300 amongst them! The Tigers continue to have defence problems, with teams week after week producing above average performances against an under-manned Tigers outfit. Also, the two win-less reserves teams went head-to-head, with Rhineland producing their best score in a very long time.

PS: I coming for you Dublin.

Samurai blades split Sands in-half

Cairo just had the fifteen play this week. Oh dear. Whereas Tokyo did what they needed to. Neither a good or bad score, but a win is a win and they'd be happy with it.

Cobras Poison Islanders

The Cobras have won 4 of their past 5 matches, and have definitely come back to form! The Islanders have dropped two matches in a row now to teams it would feel are on level pegging terms, so are now in an awkward position in the middle of the ladder.

Cape Town: Cameron McCarthy, Josh P Kenendy, Mark Blicavs, Stefan Martin, Tom Hawkins, Adam Cooney
