WXV Round 14: Seoul face unlikely bogey team

[Purple 77]

Reindeers Fly Over Moscow... and don't drop off a Top 4 gift   

The Reindeers responded to my queries yet again, proving without a doubt that they can beat the top-tier teams and challenge for the premiership. Moscow on the other hand, now face these queries after consecutive losses to Mexico City and now PNL... can they respond against Dublin?

Jaguars Maul Saints in Hellish Display

WOW! Kinda makes you wonder what the Jags would have been like this year with GAJ available from start to finish! Of course it was him that inspired this mammoth score (and disappointingly, not enough to name Levi coach of the round). The Jags are obviously pissed off that they can't make finals, so are now doing everything  they can to annoy the teams up the top... you better stop that now in two weeks time, you hear? The Saints produce what I hoped they might produce last week, which remains a concern come finals time.

Rio are the 5th team this year to hit the 160 barrier

 :o :o :o Think everybody would be happy that Ablett missed the majority of the year after he has now come back ready to make everybody else's lives a living hell before finals :-X.

And yay! PNL break their losing streak against Moscow :).

Back-to-Back Wins for Seoul, Spoon for New Delhi?

Seoul would be happy with the win... who doesn't like a win anyway? Whereas New Delhi perhaps missed a good opportunity to take the next step in avoiding the spoon, as Mexico City certainly tried to bring down Buenos Aires' percentage for them. Still, you never know! I still reckon they just need one more win and they'll avoid it, can they do it?

I think thats a 3 way tie for the euro crown. Moscow v Dublin huge.

Wolves Determined in Bid for Finals

Hope remains for Toronto with this vital win over like-team London, who now need everything to go right for them in the next 3 weeks if they are to snatch 8th spot. An impressive 8 centurions spurred Toronto into the kind of form that just went missing in the middle part of the year, whereas London continue to yo-yo in the 120s and 140+'s.

Something something about the evenness of the competition.  :P

But nah, if we weren't flowered enough. The run home just got impossibly harder.

Looking forward to making Hugh Goddard captain and finally getting a WXV Rising Star nom next week though.  ;)

with HGA bonus. not very impressive.

Meant in general, three big scores this week.

Only 183 for Dublin with 440 odd from one player? Not very impressive.

And yay! PNL break their losing streak against Moscow :).

And also kudos for Seoul breaking drought against New Delhi

I was just having a go.

However this is Dublin at its weakest and was away from Home. Selwood in next week and Sloaney in soon.

I think having an average age a decade above ours helped out :P

At least we didn't score a 130 like we used to in an off week.

[roo boys!]

153 with Pendles "only" going 110 I'm happy with

Playing Rio next week...not so happy with

Same old problem for Toronto, bottom 3 combining for 140
