Season 59

[Pete Cresswell]

Rugby's Better picked up a useful 3-1 win in the home leg of the CL quarter-finals. Unfortunately the team suffered 3 injuries, all caused by fouls. The manager is contemplating buying a voodoo doll & naming it after all the oppo's player, and consoling himself that the guy was in our league 2 seasons ago and RB thrashed him twice there. 18 injuries in 19 days this season - at least they've mostly been on the less severe end of the spectrum. In the CL it's 9 matches, 9 injuries.

Rugby's Better won again in the league today to stay top, despite having 2 losses this season to the team in 2nd - he is playing a 3N-2N (MC)-3W(AM)-2ST formation which RB have failed to break down, but which seems vulnerable on the counter.


It's been a while since our last team update, sadly the manager's inability to attend (mutter mutter no mobile signal while at the Barbarians vs Australia rugby match at Twickenham mutter mutter) the 2nd leg of the Cup contributed to a 4-1 loss at home, which meant going out on away goals (we won 3-0 away), with the entire defence rating a 5 or less for the match.

Rugby's better won 3-0 away to ease through to the next round of the CL, though picked up ANOTHER 2 injuries in the match to make it 5 for the tie.

A 14-1 win at the league easy beats ( they're heading for a -200 point goal diff) kept the fans happy too.
