I think you have a chance here eoin. As long as he doesnt get too many scrums on the 5 metre line your defence could see you through.

My opponent hasn't accepted the fixture yet.

Would love to be playing in this.

hmm very even in the backs, better attack similar defense, pack it has it. he's going to rape me in rucks, there will be a lot of turnovers I think! Also if I am not ahead come last 20 game over since his stamina will see home home.

Going well so far. Need to put points on the board though. As you say, the last 20 will be tough.

mar-z

14-3 up. Going well

Oisinjm

Up 7-0 at the half, destroying him in the lineout, its about evens in the scrums. I think hes gone Normal and I've LTNT'd because his players have far superior CSR than mine. Heres hoping I get the win

Edit: He gets a try straight away from the restart. I had to jinx it. 7-5

18-14 up. Struggling to convert territory though. Could cost me in the end.

JohnButler

Have the fingers crossed for y'all.

12-16 ten mins to go now - COME ON I CAN DO IT!:)

Going to watch last ten mins and then read over the rest. penalty count very much against me.

corny

Can't believe i'm winning but 26-12 up:)

mar-z

75 mins and they just closed the gap to 2 points.

Apparently my team no longer do comfortable finishes

eoferrall

TRY UNDER THE POSTS!!!!!! 19 -19 last minute!:D

BOOM he was about 800 places ahead of me!:p


Edit: Conversion is last kick of the game, well lads I did my best and didnt let anyone down I think!

What a comeback!!! Congrats

crisco10

Won 21-14.

Nervous last play though. Started at 79:59 with a lineout to them on their 5 yard line, took them 7 phases and 50 yards to eventually knock it on!

mar-z

Finished 22-20 to Grubber RFC . He's a good few ranking places ahead of me but has a qualifier Wed so took it a bit easy it seems.

Thought I was goosed when I was down with last 20 to go, but pulled some tries out of nowhere:)

Very happy here, satisfying end to the season.:pac:

Should also say thanks to Johnnysmack and dave for giving me the confidence to have a go!

corny

Won 26-12.

Think i know where my opponent went wrong though. He played his best team but with this fella at 10 http://www.blackoutrugby.com/game/club.squad.php#player=7435976:eek:

Oisinjm

I won 20 - 5. Pretty happy, but I did LTNT him

satory

My match doesnt begin for just under 2 hours...

Looking at the prematch stats, were fairly even, though he does have the edge on me in attack and defense...

Just hope he though more of his qualifier this week then he though of me

daveharnett

Pre game summary looks promising. Lineout not as dominant as I would have thought though. Lets see if the crazy tactics pay off.

(Looks like we're well ahead from the home leg. Well done lads!)

johnnysmack

5 minutes in and im down 7 points. not going good

satory

10 minutes in... 14-0

daveharnett

3 all after 20. Bit of an arm wrestle.

daveharnett

3-10 up after 26 mins, and 70% territory. Shutting their game down quite nicely atm.
Edit: Bah, breakaway try from inside their own half. Really surprised that my lineout is looking shaky.

satory

Im bloody amazed how bad my team looks...

Alot of mistakes, knock ons,etc...

and my once quality lineout has gone... missed 2 opportunities to get someone thing on the board, and the lineout fails

daveharnett

Yep, my hooker's having a mare. Where are my tactical subs!
Missed a penalty on the stroke of halftime. still 10-10. 75% possession though.
Hope to open them up a little in the last 20.

My halfbacks seem to be carrying the majority of the p&g balls. Wonder if this is because I put the fatties in the backrow?

johnnysmack

Half time he's leading 21-17.
