UQ went into this year’s grand final qualifier against Wests on the back of a nine-match unbeaten run. 

But a try against the run of play swung the match, leaving the Red Heavies free on grand final weekend for just the fifth time since 2010. 

Overview with Elton Berrange:

“It was a disappointing finish to the year, considering how we built towards the backend of the season,” Berrange told Rugby News.

“We had a bit more consistency in our selections in the second round and that allowed us to focus on the areas of our game that we wanted to. 

“Once we got some of our small detail down, it allowed the bigger detail and our attack to come together.
