Arrivederci Italia and Ni Hao Asia

I was asked in various emails, SMSs etc what was I expecting today and vs Italy - it was to win and finish 2nd in the qualifying. In reality anything north of 10 would leave us well placed for the last 2 matches. So it was that we scored 13-17. In keeping with most of Italy's opponents we were not outplayed, we certainly had opportunities for a small win. They played solidly throughout.

So I am happy to be 22 ahead of 9th at this stage (maybe some more scores to come in as our match finished 50 minutes before time.

Chinese Taipei - another team we have not had a particularly good record against in the past. They are running 16th and seemingly out of contention but that said 22.5 VPs behind qualifying.

The team spirit is strong but not too much so which is good.

Anyway back to the engine room.....

Best
David
