“Slippery balls, armour breaks, and injury rolls. This is how this game may be remembered.

Learnings:

1. PROTECT

This time, we did not account and protect for a failed LOS block. This allowed my opponent to place immense pressure on our backfield where, we failed the 1/9 ball pick up.

Once backfield was penetrated, I went for higher risk pick up before making the scene safer to do so. Benefit was that if pick up succeeded, I could protect it well. Downside was... terrible.

So.. all the nonsense that happened in this game, could have been mitigated by better backfield protection. Secure the ball- that must be the primary cpncern at all times.
