Randwick coach Ben McCormack is confident his young group is ready to match it with the big boys and challenge for a spot at the pointy end of the Shute Shield ladder this season.

A young Randwick side, minus their contracted players who spent most of last season in a Super Rugby bubble, were mid-table when the competition was postponed and then cancelled in 2021 and McCormack is confident they can exceed that this season.

Overview with Ben McCormack:

“I wasn’t unhappy with how we performed last year,” McCormack told Rugby News.

“I thought we were having a reasonable season and had plenty of footy left in us. We had a largely young group and we were able to debut a number of young guys who were very good colts players.
