Deserves it's own thread. Following the 4 games I'll post up tournaments stats: Tries scored, Points scored and Conversion success %. I may even pick my dream team. Anyway time to look at the 4 games we have installed for us: Finals - Shield - essentially the final for the wooden spoon Game 1: (6) Saint Etienne vs (5) Jamesaican Jerks This is the game that no body wants to lose. The loser of this match will come dead last. Saint Etienne are yet to even win a match in this whole tournament, can they change things around and finish on a sightly positive note??? Jamesaican Jerks will certainly hope not. With just 1 win in the tournament, they'll be hoping to make it 2. Odds: Saint Etienne: $2.09 Jamesaican Jerks: $1.35 Finals - Bowl Game 5: (4) lAmes lAnes vs (3) Morgan Venereal DC This game will be very interesting. I originally tipped lAmes lAnes to come 1st in their pool. Boy was I wrong. They've redeemed themselves slightly and they've made it through to the Bowl final. Morgan Venereal DC will be trying to stop them in their tracks. Both teams knocked the 1st and 2nd seeds out in the semis so this match is sure to be a cracker. Odds lAmes lAnes: $1.15 Morgan Venereal DC: $2.02 Finals - Plate Game 1: (6) Pilgrim's Progress vs (5) Morris Minor The Plate final. A frustrating one indeed. Both teams got knocked out in the 1st stage of the Cup playoffs and they see themselves fighting for the Plate. Both teams lost their games, but I can tell you, they were both close games. This match is sure to be a good hard up front forwards game. Odds: Morris Minor: $1.17 Pilgrim's Progress: $2.00 Finals - Cup Game 5: (4) Royal O'Neill Spa vs (2) Laing Home Counties The big one, the final. I'm tipping the Laing Home Counties here but it could go either way. Both teams have showed great courage to get to this stage. Royal O'Neill Spa had to fight their way through the Quarters in the Cup as well. Will that give them more confidence or will they be lacking a bit of gas? Time will tell. Odds: Royal O'Neill Spa: $1.64 Laing Home Counties: $1.41 Who do you think will win?
I know this is basically a decade too late and probably no one cares but this to happen in the next day or so.
