We played another team that flocks like sea gulls on attack with up to three backdoors flying one way at once. In the past, we struggle to put these 'non-touch' teams away, but we've improved since, so we won 5-0.
We got two quick ones to start - Kerhan running through on dummy for Chris to jot down, then David running through on dummy for Kerhan to jot down. Soon though, we won't be able to pull this off, with the new rules coming in soon, stating that the dummy cannot cross the try line at all. Its going to create a heap of confusion for both teams, and also for the refs who already suck.
We fell asleep and spent most of the game in our own half due to lazy driving and a ref who kept pinging us for taking apparently taking an extra half step when we played the ball. But then we woke up from our mid-match slumber and Nick squeezed through, followed by Dean and Nick pulling off a really nice Carter move and Kerhan finishing with a quickie.
We're not being well-prepared with these guys though. We've got some top teams on the horizon to play against, and we'll need to be sharper and stop running through the motions...
But till then: ho hum.
