In the middle of the field, both sides struggled to push forward. Antonios's team finally managed to secure the rugby, which was standing on the ground.
The ball was passed back through the legs to Oliver, who immediately launched it toward the left to the big man, Taigetinos.
As Taigetinos caught the ball, he spun around, dodging the opponent trying to tackle him, and charged forward with the ball in hand.
Another opponent lunged at him from the front-left.
Xenotimos quickly blocked the tackle.
Taigetinos, a strong and burly man, became unstoppable once he picked up speed. Even when opponents grabbed him twice, he used his sheer momentum to break free.
As he crossed two markers in the opposing half, Epitenes, watching from the sidelines, couldn't contain himself and shouted anxiously.
Just then, a player from the opposing team chased from behind at full speed. Leaping into the air with arms outstretched, he accurately and forcefully grabbed Taigetinos's legs.
