XVs CL 2016 - Grand Final (Rd 22) Dicussion thread

[PowerBug]

So after 6 long weeks, it's down to the final two teams. One from the Euros competition, a strong Euros side Iceland Polar Bears, managed by site admin Hellopplz. The other, is only in this competition because of a Brexit-like decision from the Nottingham Hoods, and boy have they made the most of it. Manchester Magic are through, managed by Torpedo10. So either way it's going to be an unpopular winner right? ;)

These two sides have earned their chance to play off for glory, good luck to both teams :)

It is, I just hadn't added it up myself :)

Tell me here who doesn't want to barrack for the fire breathing Polar Bears from Iceland? Besides Torpy.

[Ringo]

We British people are really hoping a torpedo is launched straight into the polar bears.

It's ok, we are Magicians.

We can revive your Polar Bears after we are have won.

tbh it's a bad look for the XVs if a team that wasn't even supposed to be in the comp wins the whole thing.  :P

Why are you so against us?

You've brought this up like four times, just let it go.

Blame LF if Torp wins :P

At the moment this Saturday afternoon is the first one where I am doing nothing for the first time this winter, so I might have some updated scores after 3 games at the very least, and then also on the Sunday morning hopefully :)

Manchester shoulda been gone in the group stage  :P

[JBs-Hawks]

Manchester would be as deserving as any if they come from the position they did to win it all!

[Purple 77]

Sigh. I miss the comp already. See you in 2018 I guess  :(

[fanTCfool]

I'm not saying that Manchester don't deserve to win, either side would be worthy victors, but the Lambs should have knocked them off weeks ago
