“We kick and on T1 suffer a BH'd gobbo before rushing their backfield. T3 and their snow troll MNGs our MB blitzer (ow) and they pass the ball downfield inaccurately. Still it's in two tackle zones and we can't bounce it clear on our turn and they make everything safe on their T4. We can no longer threaten the ball or even make useful blocks so we spend two turns waiting for them to score while they put in a couple of fouls. Finally on T8 they take the lead.

We go for a TTM attempt but the gobbo fails to land so we're on to the 2nd half.

We KO one lineman and MNG another with a DP but their snow troll then blitzes our troll for a KO so we go for the TD as quickly as possible, rushing a gobbo into their half and screening with a few more. The best they can do is get a player standing beside him and he easily dodges away to make it 1-1 on T3. Our troll fails to wake up but we still have 11 vs 9 as we kick off.

We DP foul their snow troll as soon as he blitzes into our half but can only stun him. T5 and we see a 1d blitz vs their thrower with the ball alone deep in their half.. but even with a RR can only knock our own rat over! T6 and using our final RR we get a 2d blitz in and knock the ball free. This is our best chance... but a perfect turn from the norse side sees a gobbo -AV injured, two KOs, a crowdpush, and then their thrower dodges and picks up the ball. We try for a gobbo blitz but it doesn't work out and they leg it upfield to score the winner just in the nick of time.”
