BIFF: We're coming back to you now, in the third quarter of the COVID Cup, and Rugger, I know Victoria are the crowd favourites here, but I just don't think they can come back to win the cup.
RUGGER: I think you're right, Biff, but then, COVID is a game of ups and downs, and you just don't know what's next around the corner, if you get my drift.
BIFF: Let's look at the stats for these two teams, Rugger.
RUGGER: Pulling up the table now.... as you can see, Biff, Victoria's performance on the spreadsheet last year was just off the charts, they notched up a whopping total of lockdown runs on the scoreboard, and no other team was able to knock them off their perch.
BIFF: No, although NSW did try to close the gap, including that memorable late northern beaches lockdown in December. But...
(Siren blares)
RUGGER: It's on, Biff!
BIFF: It's on!
RUGGER: It's going orrrrrff!
BIFF: You can just hear the Victorian crowd, they're practically raising the roof, they haven't lost their enthusiasm at all!
RUGGER: That's their man, Big Dan Andrews, they love that boy!
BIFF: He just keeps on lockin' 'em down, Rugger - before the break, he scored them a precious Fifth Lockdown, keeping their hopes up.
RUGGER: One hundred and ten per cent, Biff.
BIFF: It kept the Victorian crowd happy, but it's just not going to be enough... that NSW lockdown score is just too much.
RUGGER: One hundred and ten per cent, Biff, they're behind their man one hundred and ten per cent! They're getting on the Dan train and reaching for the sky!
BIFF: He's lining up for another lockdown, Rugger!
RUGGER: He's got them to this place, Biff, they just need to position themselves in the right spot so they can get just that little bit further, and....
BIFF: OOOOOOOH! Their SIXTH lockdown! That's four so far this year!
RUGGER: Victoria is still in the running, Biff!
(Crowd cheering)
RUGGER: They're still in the running.... they're not letting go of the bat for one minute!
BIFF: Rugger!
RUGGER: It's checkmate, Biff, but that's not the end of the story!
BIFF: Absolutely, Rugger, absolutely!
