Dublin's defence will turn an amazing game into just a really good one. Dusty, Sloane and Goldstein put this contest tp bed, but New York certainly isn't disgracing themselves.

The Toronto forward line!! The Wolves have more than made up for Ryan Clarke's shocking 24 - likely HGA - and have put New Delhi on the defensive. The Tigers really needed more from Captain Sidebum. Normally I'd write them off, but their remaining cattle has the potential to get 100 a piece on their good days. Toronto should get it from here though - and it'd be a huge scalp.

Similarly to Dublin, the Magpies defence has turned an amazing game into just a great one... but if we know Dangerfield... the Magpies could still notch 170+! Tom Lynch's 180, with Clarry's 146 and Swallow's 121 have won this for Seoul, but now we wanna see something big. Jeff Garlett's 152 should also be noted for Cairo, but not many teams will beat Seoul today, if any.

That Pacific scorecard is actually quite breathtaking... it's just a shame McGovern had to come in for Barlow, else everyone single player has actually tonned up. The Jaguars are actually going reasonably well, but alas, caught Pedo on a day where he played almost soley forward. The rest of the game would just have to go amazingly right for the Jags to win, and I don't see it happening. Pacific to join Seoul in scoring 160+ this week I reckon.

Berlin is really not doing THAT well, and would be vulnerable to at least half the competition this week. But unfortunately for the Suns, Weitering, Graham and Longer have killed any chance of an upset. Berlin will win from here.

This is probably the MATCH OF THE ROUND so far! These teams are neck-and-neck, and I don't see much splitting them really. I just want to note that normally when a team's R1 goes down, you'd be LUCKY to have a spud ruck named at E3. Not Moscow, though. Take note Cairo and Buenos Aires. The Saints also had both of their utilities go down with injury, fortuantely E1 Conor McKenna comes in a with ton to soften the blow. Who wins from here? I just look at Christchurch's CCs, and I find the answer. Christchurch in a thriller.

Early days for London, but I'd be thinking we're in for a sneaky chance, despite the slow start. PNL are on track for around 120-130, so London will need at least 3 centurions - maybe 4 - where one of them is Luke Shuey. It'll be a challenge, but I think London can do it. Hunter Clark hurts for PNL. London for me.

I mean, it's not impossible, just very unlikely for the Samurai to win from here. A Tom Jonas 50 and a Dan Howe 50 is not unheard of, and if that happens, we're on a level playing field. But even then, I like Wines, Rockliff and Breust over JJ, Smith and Dunkley. Beijing from here, but concerns are deepening.

I tell ya what, Bueons Aires would have loved to have captained their highest averaging player from 2017 in Ed Curnow. The bold call of putting the C on Bonner may come back to haunt them, as they are currently neck and neck with Cape Town. Buenos Aires have the runs on the board, but Duncan, Ebert, Papley and Jack can chase it down. Cape Town for me, by the difference between Bonner and Curnow's score  :-X

[Toga]

Jing's backline is shot at the moment. Need things to start changing quick.

[Ringo]

Matthos 97 on bench will probably hurt us a lot.

[Nige]

Matthos 97 on bench will probably hurt us a lot.

Even after I warned you last week.

Enough of the disrespect, trade him back right now.

What's the most Centurions a team as ever had?  Pacific have 9 so far with Mitchell, Guthrie and JKolo to come.
