Dido loses her first game as the head coach of the Megapowers as they were convincingly beaten by RFC Nautical.
Albert Aft for some unknown reason found himself in the position to finish off a well-worked try. This topped off two great individual efforts by Perry Portside and East Indiaman.
The Synergy Seamen have quietly risen under the sonar as of late. Finishing second is now in their own hands, which means they can get the pick of the trash for the play-off matches.
Although the Megapowers are in a comfortable position since the takeover of Dido, this defeat may start a run of bad form.
RC3 Breakdown analyst Germanic Youth on the Ancient Megapowers defeat
"I've always had admiration for Albert Aft. We stood shoulder to shoulder during the Great 2017 Fullback crisis, and I am so happy for him that he came through the other side".
"Aft is the reason Nautical won today. I hope this defeat for my former club does not spiral into a rut, but Dido knows I am just a phone call away if she needs me back in the fold".
Try scorer East Indiaman on his upcoming New Zealand game against Australia
"This is the perfect result for me heading into the Bledisloe Cup. I am feeling fit and sturdy and cannot wait to continue delivering that cargo over the try line for my country".
