“ Was a wierd one. The lizzies got off to a good start, punching straight through the ogre's flank to score comfortably in turn 6, thwarting the 3 turn touchdown attempt with a good mix of boneheads and pre-empting the 1 turner.

Then it all went downhill. We'd considered ourselves fortunate suffering only a badly hurt skink and a seriously injured silibili although efforts were made to only stand up when necessary and making use of break tackle to minimise hits. This plan failed to work however when the combination of a pitch invasion and some good armour rolls set us of omn the back foot for the second half. The draw was hopefully avoided however as the ogres scored with enough time to allow us the 2-1 decieder, something we were hopeful of even with the ogres outnumbering us (due to some unfortunate KO rolls), especially with the skinks' MA8.

It was not to be however when a blitz immediately secured the ogres the ball and finished the game.

Felt a bit hard done by to tell the truth, since although we weren't optimistic to begin with, given the coach's skill, the difference in team power and my general inability to deal with ogres very well, but I wouldn't have played it much differently and I think I gave a fairly solid performance.

Oh and it was 7 skink dodges in the first half btw, 1 of which failed :)

See you round Pmg.



Edit: Not sure where you're getting that number from...I just had another count on the replay where there were 7 skink dodges (1 failed) and 6 saurus dodges (all with BT bar 1 which failed) for a total of 13. Maybe 18 for both sides for all players?

You specifically mentioned the 'insane' dodging of my skinks after I said about BT being under-rated in blackbox, so I'm not sure if you're trying to validate your crying by giving a completely off topic number or what?


Edit2: Where you then made the complaint that it was the skinks that were giving you the hassle and how they had dodged xxx times successfully before...which wasn't true, hence the small additional comment to the match report.”
