“Sigh... another very rough game for the Orcs.

This is a tough replay to watch, and analysis to make. But I will try. In the end we are purely out classed by a far superior opponent.

Learnings:

1. From T1 we are in trouble. We cover ball, but fail pick up. We are then blitzed off the ball, and it is couple marked. This pressure leads to a turnover score.

Better Candidate? (1) Could have brought more players back to mark ball? (2) Could have blitzed forwards to side ball was on? (3) Could have covered sidelines better with big orc S4? (4) Could have re rolled the pick up.

2. From T2 we were already 2 players down, and could not keep the ball safe. This stems from a haphazard eclectic position after our LOS blocks. Our opponent presses heavy and controls the south, whilst blitzing and marking ball to north.

Better Candidate? (1) Flat line defence. Our position end of T1 is ugly.

A disheartening game. But we still have the goal of completing the BBT run. It is unfortunate that we cannot compete or create interesting games, but we will try to learn from them still.”
