WXV Round 12: Will Cairo sink the Destroyers?

[Purple 77]

Pacific pummel Samurai

The Islanders sucked the life out of the Samurai, whom have been slowly slipping out of the finals race. This was a much needed win for Pacific though, if they want to make the top 4.

Young Armadillos teach Old Brewers Lesson

FARRRRRRRK! Like what PNL did to New Delhi, Buenos Aires have REALLY hurt my chances at finishing in the top 4 and thus getting a home prelim final. OH flower ME! Second game this year I've lost to HGA  >:( but still, the Dillos deserve this, with a solid performance across all 15 of its players. I've said this before, but gee, imagine this team with a ruck.

Losing to a team with 14 players, could be our worst moment since having OOP mids. Maybe even worse.  :P ::)

Mexico City condemn Cobras

The Suns had two centurions - one of which was Captain Sicily - whereas the Cobras didn't have anyone that raised the bat. You won't win a game without a centurion. This could be the last of Cape Town's winnable games  :-\

Toronto show up late to defeat Royals

Calling this game a bye is one thing, but to forgetting to call up Macrae & Naitanui? That's something else. Alas, it was still too much for the Royals, who might have just regained the lead for the spoon with Cape Town.

Pacific make it 7 from 7 against Tokyo, whilst I'm pretty sure Mexico City become the first team to beat someone 9 times, now having a 9-1 record over fellow 2012 grand finalist Cape Town.

Pretty awesome that all my 'midfielders' made the bests (100+) this week: Wines, Ward, Zorko, Neale, Rockliff, Howe

Couple of massive upsets elsewhere around the league! :o
