UQ assistant coach Elton Berrange says his men will need to step up to the plate when they face the second placed Bond at St Lucia on Saturday.

“First six weeks have probably been a six out of ten,” Berrange told Rugby News.

“We had a tough pre-season with not a lot of time on field. I think the way we have played is probably reflective of that because we felt a bit clunky.

“Some of the finesse pieces of our attack and detail in defence hasn’t been spot on just yet.”
