“Our orcs face lukoshiukas' buffed up chaos. They have a mino with RSC, plenty of guard and 3 further players with claw.

We receive and both teams engage across the line for a big old punchup, with us getting an early lead despite not being able to put in a good DP foul (saving him for a clawed player), with a KO and a MNG on T2. Their mino has blitzed over the ball carrier and both teams are fighting for the ball. By T5 we've recovered and run our rookie black orc into range of the endzone while a blitzer moves the ball past their mob of players. T7 and we make the handoff and score as it's looking too risky to wait a turn.

They have 2 turns to try and counter score, but even with a RR from cheering fans they can't pick up the ball - let alone throw it downfield to their waiting beastman.

Half time and their STR4 beastman remains KO'd but both teams still have more than enough players to field 11. We roll up a blitz but can only get a couple of players into their half with it and they recover nicely. They hand the ball to a freed up beastman on the halfway line on T2 and sprint him into our half.. going for a GFI too many! We can just get a blitzer to stand over him and on his next turn he fails the dodge despite a RR and stuns himself- letting us secure the ball with our AGI4 sure-hands blitzer.

We foul twice in a row with our DP, getting him sent off at the cost of burning up their apo to save a death and run the ball through to their endzone. Our 70spp super blitzer is in danger of aging so we decide not to score with him and spend a couple of turns attempting to get someone else upfield- finally managing it (barely) on T8 to make it 2-0!

GG lukoshiukas!”
