π The Oval Officeβs Round 2 Team
The Good
π Ben Earl and Jack Conan came through with tries and hit 40 points.
β Supersub Henry Pollock was on the money; no other player scored more from the bench.
The Bad
π«π· Mathieu Jalibert far outperformed George Ford β so much for the drop goal threat...
π«£ Removing Huw Jones & Kyle Steyn after last weekβs disappointment proved to be a big error!
π¬ We only had 4/15 players in the R2 dream team.
How did we perform vs The Oval Officeβs computer picks?
The computer picked a team that was to return 504 expected points. It only returned 369.
Henry Arundellβs yellow & red card cost dearly (-1), as did the choice of supersub Nick Timoney (9pts).
π’ Our team scored 493 points.
π Congratulations to GeorgeFRG, Phants & TRYing too hard, who lead the way in the Oval Office league after the Round 2.
Until Friday, when weβll send you our Round 3 preview!
