Ukraine Grand Final - LIVE

[langpark]

Starting at 12 noon UK time!

For a bit if history, Legion XIII are the red-hot favourites, reigning champions and I think never lost a game. Last year when the national team played, I think 12-13 of the matchday 17 came from this club. Let's hope Tigers can put up some sort of a fight today!

Very good broadcast quality! With multiple camera angles, commentary, replays, scoreboard etc!

Still scoreless after 12 monutes. Lviv are not bad, bit too many unforced errors and 'brain snaps' like kicking on the 1st or 2nd tackle.

I wish they`d stick with the high-angle camera.

I`m generally in favour of more risk-taking early in the count, but that 2nd tackle kick was a tell-tale sign of a background in you-know-what.

Poor bloke did his knee. Looked painful.

The more i watch, the more i agree with you. They should only use that back angle for try scoring scenarios. I am getting a bit dizzy

Sadly we can see a baleful UK influence in their non-PTBs. Very depressing for coherent global development.

On the upside there were more offloads in one play just then than we`re likely to see in the whole of the NRL GF.

Which team is which? The team in black are 10-0 down now but have actually looked the better footballing side from what I’ve seen. 

Good professional broadcast and officiating

Is it just my imagination, or are Lviv wearing Castleford Tigers shirts?

You`re happy with players chucking the ball back like an RU squeezeball?

Yes they are. They donated them a few years back and Lviv adopted the Tigers name ever since and rebranded their logo.

Score is up on the right hand side of the screen. Legion shown as Kharkiv, Харків. Lviv is Львів.

[langpark]

Yes!!! 10-10! Game on!!

This is a decent watch. Some strong looking athletes on the park. Nice stadium as well

[Futtocks]

Completely forgot, so missed the first half. Has the sound just cut off for everyone else, or is it just me?

And the Underdogs up at half time ?

It is a pretty good game, ball certainly getting some air. Fair amount of building rubble dumped around the sidelines though.

Just a silent HT break, as audio is back for kick-off.

Idiosyncratic use of replays. Could be someone on secondment from the BBC.

Great third try by Lviv.

My Ukranian is none existent, but thought I heard gerromonsideref!

There were some Ukranians played for Milford Marlins a while back. Must have been one of them.

[Futtocks]

Kharkiv take and extend their lead with two quick tries. I hope they don't just run away with it now.

[langpark]

Wow, an anti-climatic 2nd half it seems. Legion are.just running right through them now. 

[Futtocks]

Lviv get one back, thanks to their No.26 throwing a big dummy.

[Futtocks]

Where's this being played? One of the clubs' home grounds?
