“It's our chaos team with the horrendous win record vs Aerlor's orcs. Always a tough nut to crack, orcs at this rating, but lets try our best.

Their niggler opts to play and they force us to kick despite pouring rain. They collect the ball on their second attempt and look for a way through our wall of beasties and CWs. On turn 2 we manage to KILL their +AGI super blitzer with our own +AGI CW, but their apo saves, and we KO a black orc. They counter by passing the ball to a blitzer who dashes up our sideline towards the endzone. Fortunately we're able to dodge blitz a beastman after him, pushing him against the sideline. They try and dodge a blitzer to support, but trip over! We take this chance to eject the ballcarrier and MNG a black orc. They cover the ball with several players plus their troll, so we pile in a load of our own, turning it into a bit of a brawl!

On turn 7 we eject their troll where the fans badly hurt him, though he regens, and then on turn 8 go for a difficult attempt at a touchdown, our +AGI CW picking up the ball in the rain and trying for a long distance throw... until he slips up on a GFI to get closer!

** HALF TIME **
Our KO wakes up while both of theirs sleep on so it's 11 vs 10 in our favour.

It's still raining so even our +AGI fumbles the pick up on turn 1, though a first-action troll blitz by the orcs gives us a quick turnover. This lets us collect the ball and push players through the centre of their defensive line. They rush orcs back and once again we have a classic punch up in the centre. On turn 4 we KILL their +AGI super blitzer - again - and this time he stays dead. They then try for a desperate move- a 4+ dodge followed by a -2d blitz and it works, knocking over our CW with the ball! It could be key as our AGI4 CW fails the 3+ pickup two turns in a row, despite burning RRs both times. We kill another blitzer, and knock over all their players, but we may not be able to win it here as there's just one turn to go...

Our rerolls are gone but we have 2 +AGIs set up to make up for the rain... and fortunately make the 3+ pickup and 3+ catch to snatch the last turn touchdown!!

They set up for a thrown-goblin attempt, but the kick lands too deep to try it and the win is ours!

GG Aerleor!”
