EXV Round 1

[Holz]

We have last years champions taking on Macedonia who exited last years finals with back to back good games. Should be a high scoring affair and Bashers will be pushed to keep up their winning ways.

Lions had a disappointing year last year but with Titch back they will be competitive again. Russia always seems to place themselves towards the top of the tables and a win here might be needed to do so again this year.

Crushers showed glimpses of a finals team last year and they play the Valks who will be on notice as some of the struggling teams of the last few years start to rise up.

Spain is looking to take over the mantle from Beligum as the best XV team and they might have the fire power to do so. Greece must be counting themselves abit unlucky with not making finals last year despite putting up good numbers.

Fun fact spoon winners Hungary actually outscored 7th place Iceland so the Hulks will be looking to exact some revenge and pick up the win. Iceland has shown they can find a way to win in recent years so should be a good battle.

The Bison came from nowhere last year to make finals, if they can have a better start the year they might be a shock contender. The storm are a contender already so expect fireworks.

Disturbing lack of mids with Treloar out and way too many forwards. I propose a rolling trade period so I can trade some of these forwards for another mid...

We will likely keep up the mid season trade period so you can load up.  You do get to play a midfielder in the ruck so thats nice.
