We get perfect defence but humans outsmart us. We concentrate on their catchers and get both of them KO by T3. Humans are outmanned but have luck on onedicers and twoagainst which allows them to break free. We get a twodicer on their ball carrier but he survives it in spite of rr . However, humans roll a double one first thing next turn allowing us to get the ball. Lucky! We screw up protecting our ball carrier, and they get the ball lose. Luck is with us though, and we manage to score T8. A bonus is that one of their st4 players badly hurts himself on a gfi trying to stop us.

Both human catchers come back from KO for second half and its their turn to get perf def. We are again lucky with injuries (soon their other st4 players is also badly hurt) and well, even though they hurt our key player Truffle with a onedicer, there are just to many st4 orcs around for them to stop me. At least that is what I think, until they prove me wrong. A combination of good pirate defence and stupid play by me (wanting to much to skill a certain player instead of scoring at all) stops us, and they are not that far from actually getting a tie.

Very enjoyable game!!, where coach Fabrizios pirates showed me a trick or two. Even if outmanned by st4 orcs, and unlucky getting players of the field, they stood up really nice. First half a double one stopped their TD and gave me one, and in the second I played to poorly to score.
