Team America Club Challenge

Pre game summary looks promising. Lineout not as dominant as I would have thought though. Lets see if the crazy tactics pay off.

(Looks like we're well ahead from the home leg. Well done lads!)

3-10 up after 26 mins, and 70% territory. Shutting their game down quite nicely atm.
Edit: Bah, breakaway try from inside their own half. Really surprised that my lineout is looking shaky.

satory

Im bloody amazed how bad my team looks...

Alot of mistakes, knock ons,etc...

and my once quality lineout has gone... missed 2 opportunities to get someone thing on the board, and the lineout fails

daveharnett

Yep, my hooker's having a mare. Where are my tactical subs!
Missed a penalty on the stroke of halftime. still 10-10. 75% possession though.
Hope to open them up a little in the last 20.

My halfbacks seem to be carrying the majority of the p&g balls. Wonder if this is because I put the fatties in the backrow?

johnnysmack

Half time he's leading 21-17.

satory

POINTS ON THE BOARD!!!


Hopfully I can get a few more in this second half... 21-5

johnnysmack

21-29 to me on the 50 minute mark. Come on boys, keep it going!!

johnnysmack

im 36-21 up now. i say thats him done for now.

daveharnett

STILL 10 all, but under a lot more pressure this half. Starting to worry.

satory

Not long to hold on now dave. (watching yours since mines a disaster)

daveharnett

Yesss, 10-17 up, 75 on the clock.
Tough on the fingernails, but just managed to hold on for the last 5.

johnnysmack

Woohoo won 46-33!! Quite happy with that seeing as i thought i was gonna lose going by the pre match stats and that he owned the line out.

Just about

Managed to lose, 40 - 12

I won my game 14-10.

It was a nervy end though, as in the 80th minute he had a TMO decision go against him.

Nice to get a TMO decision in favour of my team for a change

Almost as comprehensive as the defeat to Italy last year!
