WXV Round 17: Missing Moscows' Final Showing

[Purple 77]

It's a New New Delhi

This game was always headed for both heartbreak and jubilation, with the latter going to New Delhi as they make their way towards their first ever finals series! This completes and AMAZING story of grit, determination and revival of a once amazingly bad list to now a finals contending team. Well done co-coaches Ricochet and elephants!

Beijing... argh, it hurts my heart! The Thunder have basically followed the exact same path as the Tigers, and it was amazingly fitting that these two teams clashed in Round 17 in a neutral clash (as whomever had HGA would have won) to decide whom would make finals. The Thunders' path however definitely will not deviate, as next year already promises to be even better and more exciting! Heck, congratulations to Toga too!

And our last game...

A Seoul Crushing Result

Aw, dude... ow, my chest!

The Magpies have missed out on finals with the most ever wins, 10-7, on HGA. This, just, is so harsh. Had the Magpies won, they would be hosting an elimination final. But, there was only so much Captain Danger could do. Outside of Danger, Trengove and Greene, the rest of the Mapgie flock just... didn't want it enough. This is truly heart-breaking, as it would have been the Magpies first ever finals appearance too.

The Cobras... everyone except Buenos Aires hates you right now. But, the Cobras last third of the season has been VERY encouraging, and they'll carry a lot of optimism into the pre-season!

Rio get their first win over London

Whilst Buenos Aires make it 5 from 5 against Cairo

[My Chumps]

The Cobras... everyone except Buenos Aires hates you right now. But, the Cobras last third of the season has been VERY encouraging, and they'll carry a lot of optimism into the pre-season!

Unlucky Toges! What a game to finish the year

I would have been on the Jing bandwagon for finals if you guys had gotten in

The two blokes I've always cared the most about ;)

[Levi434]

Rio's ending to the year:






Seriously though. A 4 point game is heart stopping. Had Sauce been subbed out, O'Rourke would have came on and then have his scored halved to 18, meaning Rio would have lost by 4 points and finished 3rd. Which results in an away final to start out.

[Holz]

Should be a rule that if a sub scores less then no sub out
