Rugby Union Sim

[Smudge]

I plan to be the Sean Fitzpatrick of the CW XV, sledging all and sundry and 'assisting' the referee in his decisionmaking.

 

[Quaggas]

Hehe... BTW, I take it razor blades are not allowed in the scrum?

I do that job for the Cricsim XV

 

[Majin]

I don't even know what I plan to be, that is the extent of my rugby knowledge. Perhaps CW's Austin Healy, plugging hair surgery.

I see we've got no reserves, is that likely to affect our performance on the simulation?

 

[ripper868]

Nah, just means Robbie Deans is our coach - no need to use reserves.

Nah. I've turned injuries off and fitness won't be an issue.

Welcome to this 'friendly' match between the CricketWeb XV and the Cricsim Development XV. The weather here today is perfect for running rugby. The skies are clear, the pitch is fairly dry and only a slight wind is blowing.

20 minutes gone, both teams have wasted good opportunities. The score is 0 - 0.

Phifteenplus eventually extracts the ball and passes away to Ryabovol.

Ivan Ryabovol is tackled by Ryan Gayler for the Cricsim and a ruck forms. I'd have said that Gayler was offside there, but again the ref hasn't seen it. The ruck is contested but the CricketWeb show good ball security and extracate the ball from the ruck.

The next phase to be played from 42 metres on the Cricsim side of the halfway line.

The ball eventually comes to Kyle Wright who opts to kick here for the CricketWeb. He's trying to Kick Downfield. What was he thinking there? He had plenty of space to work with, and he's overcooked that kick.
That's touched down by the defense in the goal area. We'll have a 22m drop out

Prime opportunity for CricketWeb goes begging there.

Dislike kicks in the attacking 22.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Try!!!!

 

[Hurricane]

Sam Somerset is tackled by Luke Tyson for the Cricsim and a ruck forms. Good tackle by Tyson. The ruck is contested and hotly so, in fact, this is a stalemate. The referee calls for a scrum, and he's judged the ball was on the CricketWeb side, so they'll get the feed.

Good scrum for the CricketWeb XV.

Phifteenplus takes the ball and spins it to Ryabovol. Ryabovol has seen an opportunity here. Kao's making a darting run up the blindside. He spins a risky inside pass back to Kao...

It's come off! What a great pass, straight into the breadbasket!!

The next phase to be played from 13 metres on the Cricsim side of the halfway line.

Incredible stuff here! He's burst through the defensive line and he's on a run. Koal Kao with the ball for the CricketWeb. I think he's going to make it all the way. Yes, he touches down under the posts. A great run of 38 metres. TRY!!

TRY TO CricketWeb

Conversion attempt for the CricketWeb. Kick to be taken by Sam Somerset. Nah, that's sailed wide of the posts.

Cricsim 0 - 5 CricketWeb

Will dig up the simming names

 

[Quaggas]

Hell, how did we do that, and who's Koal Kao??

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Kao = Goughy
Phifteenplus = Ripper
Ryabovol = Clapo.

Clapo/Phifteenplus combo is working wonders at the moment

Another try!!

 

[Quaggas]

Why did I put my money on Deutsche Bank instead of CW XV Arrgh

 

[Quaggas]

Well, shucks.
