The Reindeers make a last minute charge towards finals? Unlikely, but you never know - this is what they did last year also. Started very slowly, but came home well.

London are in dire straights. And the reserves results rubs salt in the wound. London threw the dice, naming 4 debutants, and it backfired. They have a lot of injuries though.

This was a game we needed to win if we wanted to cement place in the 8.  Injuries hit hard but we still should have had sufficient players to defeat the reindeers.  May be the time to relieve Stanton of the captaincy after 2 disappointing games whilst McVeigh and Hanneberry have been outstanding

[Nige]

The reserves again!  :o

But the firsts were woeful.  :-\

[roo boys!]

Great stuff from New Delhi! Good to see.

Solid enough win from the Wolves camp before the break :)

[AFEV]

Our second 1 point loss for the season! :(

Our reserves struggling too, with players like Greene, Bennell, Fisher, Dempsey, Morabito, Menzel, Schofield and Siposs not playing I guess it's not that surprising.

Ok.. Moscow have arrived! And have knocked off Buenos Aires, Moscow and now... Mexico City! The Suns hadn't lost since last year's qualifying final.

Moscow beating themselves doesn't sound good :P.

And nice to see our reserves also won a close match!

[Jay]

Although we are bad now just look at the young ruck stocks of the Islanders.

Leuey, Longer, Witts, Nicholls

:o :o :o

[Maca24]

Need to make some changes to my 15.
Vince and Goodes out, Lake and Lecras in.
Really longing for the return of Sandilands to my bench!
