“First turn niggle to my guard lino, apo save. Second turn RIP, same lino. Yep, sure glad I used the apo on his sorry carcass...

The sideline played a vital role in the first half of this game, removing player after player, two for cas, most for ko's, never to return to the game. (I think between us there was 1 ko wake up out of 8 ko's at halftime, then none of my 5 ko's woke up for the final turn. All 3 of his did, but I had too few rats to attempt a OTS promotion so it hardly mattered.) We were forever a single 2+ roll shy of winning, and he hardly needed tackle to keep rolling POW after POW on my gutter.

Losing the rat was a bummer, but it happens. The bummer was losing FF after a highly entertaining match that wasn't decided until t-16.”
