The lizards were under pressure so had to make a dart for a score. I was hopeful of a stop on defence but some very nice play from the orcs saw them get the first half equaliser.
There were some chain-pushing opportunities at one stage to get next to the ball carrier, but once that failed, it was down to some half-dices (that worked), some saurus dodging (that also worked) but the orcs had too much and won (and disabled my best player).
Best of luck to them and hopefully I get to play this coach/team again some time for some revenge.”
Valiant and elfish Lizards tried to defeat my guards army.
Liz receive first. A first failed pick-up and I put some pressure on them, but I take some risks and the pitch is open. Thanks to the BT saurus, they build a cage which move forward pretty fast. I cannot stop the TD, but liz cannot stall much, they have to score in 5 turns.
0-1
I have 4 turns to try to score. Kick is great for me, my thrower catch it and the ball is safe. A usual attack on the sideline, but Liz have a great defense. In the last turn I finally find the way to break through the line, thanks to my guards and a bit of luck (you should watch the replay).
1-1
Now I have one whole half to score 2-1. I build a stronger attack, at the center. Since my guard bobs keep the saurus around them, I make another sideline attack. But thanks to two -2db, a skink push a bob out of the pitch (SI, apo failed). My orcs start being tougher, Emeraude kills the best skink, almost healthed by his apo (SI -AG).
My BC moves forward, but thanks to two 5+ dodges, saurus came back to strip the ball. My blodger can recover it, and finally scores in the last turn.
2-1
Great match against a well-coached team (but maybe lizards need more skills on their saurus to be more competitive). Lizards were great on defense, but not stinging enough. Hope they'll go far in their next tournaments!”
