WXV Grand Final 2015: Destroyers v Suns

[Purple 77]

You've got the reserves mixed up there Purps. Yuzawa's are under Shanghai's name and vice versa.

What he ^^ said.

So if the Suns win Jordan Lewis, Brad Ebert, Ivan Maric, Brendon Goddard and Jimmy Bartel get there 2nd Premiership Medallions with the Suns after 2012 (Roo was injured for the 1st GF!) while Shaun Grigg amazingly makes it 2 flags in a row after being in the Dublin side last year.

[meow meow]

The only thing remaining to look at is would Mexico City have won if they had a missing Sandilands and Gibbs on their list instead of Rocky?

The more interesting question is could Christchurch have won if they had rocky on their list. Would have not made top 4 but had a big finals series.

Wouldn't have even made the finals without a ruckman for two thirds of the year.

Well done Purps on a huge year Admining this comp, done an absolutely outstanding job.

Almost a perfect record, if it wasn't for Seoul.

[Vinny]

Yeah, huge effort Purps, appreciate it. Best of the XV competitions!

[meow meow]

You're enormous Purps!

[RaisyDaisy]

I'm waiting for the day Os and Purps get together and start a new comp that takes over HS SC!

Now, let's get the draft cracking!

The MEXICO CITY SUNS are the 2015 World XVs PREMIERS!

It is their second premiership with the first won in 2012 by coach Maca24

DUBLIN finishes 2nd, in what was a perhaps unjust finish for the most dominant team of the year

TOM ROCKLIFF wins the AYRES/MCLEOD Medal.



It is an amazing performance, given Rockliff was subbed out of the Dublin premiership winning team last year and hence missed out on a medallion. One year later, he is the BOG performer against Dublin and Captain of the Mexico City Suns.

The Premiership Captain:
TOM ROCKLIFF

The Premiership Players:
KADE SIMPSON
MATTHEW BROADBENT
ADAM OXLEY
KAMDYN MCINTOSH
TOM ROCKLIFF
STEELE SIDEBOTTOM
JORDAN LEWIS
BRADLEY EBERT
IVAN MARIC
BRETT DELEDIO
BRENDON GODDARD

NICK RIEWOLDT

And the Premiershp Coach:
JROO8



The game as it happened:
- Dublin were disadvantaged… for being way too good! Goldstein, Mundy, Bob Murphy & Dal Santo were no-shows for the team, forcing the WXV debuts of Jason Holmes and Matt Scharenberg. Talk about initiation!
- This is actually two premierships in a row Todd Goldstein has missed, after last year failing to pull up and forcing Tom McDonald to ruck OOP.
- Despite the two debutants, there was an incredible 1673 WXV games of experience on display
- The Dublin defence tried its best; all of them reaching the ton
- The Suns midfield, including Ivan Maric, scored a mammoth 602 points between them
- There were just 4 clear villains in the game; Oxley, Riewoldt, Holmes and Franklin all scored 50 or less
- The Mexico City defence couldn't muster a centurion between them
- There was a mammoth 16 centurions on the field, 9 to Dublin & 7 to Mexico City. This was clearly the Grand Final.
- Griggs becomes a back-to-back Premiership player after playing in Dublin's premiership last year
- Who would have though McIntosh and Oxley would be premiership players at the start of the year?
- Bartel, Ebert, Goddard, Lewis & Maric become dual Mexico City premiership players
