Yet another mammoth effort by Buenos Aires, easily defeating Pacific. Depth is the key though for the Armadillos, as a few injuries could see them struggle, juding by the depths of the reserves team. A welcome debut by Boomer Harvey.

Well done MC, very close encounter! My poor selection choices are what lost it for me though (plus Curnow's crazy +18 after scaling)!

So annoying since I would have beaten 13 of the 17 teams this week, just had to play one of the 4 that I would lose to :(

[Maca24]

Mexico are brilliant  :D
Fit team, minimal injuries. Everyone scoring consistently well.
Adam Goodes, Brian Lake, Stew Crameri and Jarrad Waite all knocking on the door.

[Ringo]

Londons depth starting to be tested now with injuries.  This was always going to be a concern as we continue building.
Will be happy if we still manage to remain competitive and in the Top 8.

Cheers CF!
Thought I'd lost it with Walker and Roberton around 50 at half time and my boys nowhere to be seen, but a good last quarter from Curnow and my new favourite Garlett just did enough!

And look at the reserves! What a score. Proud of the whole team.

[Purple 77]

Hey ossie, I have a much different team than you :/

Yeah, Tom Lynch isn't a defender, and neither Jackson or Matera is a defender, so I moved Henderson into McDonalds place?
