“Nuffle intervened big time here.

The armour breaks and injury hits were high in favour of the Orcs. There was also a blitz! event in their favour, which resulted in a DEAD Black Orc. Incredible.

The LOS was held by three goblins, two of which were CAS on the opening blocks. Perhaps we would have had more issues if the Black Orcs enforced the line.

Still, we can learn from this:

1. BALL SAFETY

We did not do a good job, and out opponent found two sack opportunities.

The first was easy GFI, but the block fails. Both down into both down. Our mistake in leaving the gap open there.

The second was a 4+ dodge which fails. We had opportunity to cover and screen with our own gfi, but made decision not to, thinking it was 'safe enough'. Poor mistake, unpunished.

LESSON TO LEARN: always ask ourselves 'is the ball safe? or is there sacking opportunity?'”
