EurAsia ROBbed

This clash will live forever in the history books; arguably the best we'll ever see. In a game were 3596 points were scored, it was only decided by 4.

AAP started out as overwhelming underdogs, but turned the tables immediately when eventual Worlds medallist - from Buenos Aires - Reilly O'Brien scored a MAMMOTH 181 points. EurAsia was on the back foot from that point, only being kept in the game by either a AAP player sh!tting themselves, or a brilliant individual performance dragging the rest of the team upwards.

But with one AFL game to go, and both captains as well as two teammates left to play from each team, the EurAsian trio had to outscore the AAP trio by 44 points.

And with Captain Brodie Grundy (Beijing) up against an inexperienced Tim English, if anyone could lead EurAsia to victory, it was him. And boy, did he go for it. 174 SC points later, compared to AAPs captain Bontempelli's (Pacific) mere 109, Moscow's Jordan De Goey and Tokyo's Josh Dunkley had to overcome Toronto's Macrae and Buenos Aires' Caleb Daniel.

But Jack Macrae was just immense, scoring an incredible 148 to JUST get AAP over the line for its most famous victory!

A huge congratulations to the AAP Alliance, who have now stopped a three game losing streak with its best ever score! Special mention must also go to FTC, who brilliantly coached the Alliance to victory with tactical use of the emergencies and active monitoring of the game. Bravo!
