After losing to Sab boi (from Barcelona), who where 3rd from the bottom of the table, we bounced back with 2 wins against the 2 teams with whom we are challenging for top spot. After the first round of matches we are top of the table with a 6 point gap between us and Ordiza who are in second. The team spirits are up and we are confident but we know that anything can happen in this league if you are not at the top of your game week in and week out. All it takes is a lack of concentration, a few silly errors and before you know it the underdogs have scored first and have the momentum. Every team wants to prove a point and beat the team sitting 1st, so every game becomes a pressure game! The fact that bottom 10th can beat 1st in any given match makes this league so interesting.
This week we play Bera Bera at home, we played them in the 1st game of the season and won 30-26, only 3 tries so no bonus point. Last year they improved a lot in the second round so it will be interesting to see what they bring to this time. As long as we stick to our patterns, and stay disciplined so the Spanish ref's can't influence the game we will come out on top.
