British XV Round 2 Lodgement and Banter

[GoLions]

Round 2 thread is up! Some huge scores in round 1, wonder if we'll see more of the same this weekend :o

Fixture:



Badgers vs Rams: Badgers were one of the highest scoring teams in the opening round, but came up against a rampaging Dragons outfit, and couldn't get the win. Rams were decent, but you would think they'll struggle against the Badgers who will have HGA.

Giants vs Magic: This should be a really good game. Could honestly go either way. If Sloaney can get into things this week, should tip things into the Magic's favour. If not, a Giants win is on the cards.

Hoods vs Knights: Both teams disappointing in round 1. Both will look to bounce back this week. Knights I guess, but Hannebery back to his best and possibly no OOP ruck for the Hoods could get them over the line.

Hurricanes vs Hedgies: Hedgies were disappointing last week without a few of their better players. Hurricanes with the HGA shouldn't have too many issues here I think.

Steins vs Bunnies: Bunnies another team that would be looking to improve on their opening round performance. Steins were quite impressive, and I reckon they'll get the job done this week.

Owls vs Dragons: BOY OH BOY WOWEE, HOW GOOD WERE BOTH THESE TEAMS IN ROUND 1. Both going over 2600, and without HGA. This is gonna be an awesome match. I just can't even. The scoring power that both of these teams possess is phenomenal. I'm going to tip the Owls here, simply because they're at home. Oh boyyyyyy.

Hawks vs Leeches: This should also be a very good match. Hawks were pretty impressive, as were the Leeches. Hawks with HGA might have the slight advantage here, so I'll back them in.

Werewolves vs Breakers: Breakers really surprised in the opening round, with new recruits Spurr and Hill really lighting things up at the end of the round. The Werewolves have been up the top for so long, and at home...should get the win. But an upset here is definitely a chance!

Also just a note we are having trouble with UF so the last three games the HGA should be reversed with Owls, Hawks and werewolves having the HGA.
