Intrust Shute Shield: Round 3 Match Previews
Sydney University v Randwick

The Students lead the competition after beating Eastwood and Penrith in the opening two rounds, however new coach Tim Davidson still thinks his side has plenty of improve on.
“We had a very physical game last weekend and full credit goes to Penrith, they really troubled us at times and pressured us into making mistakes. I was happy with how we finished the game, but we still have plenty to improve on,” he told Rugby News.
Will Skelton will miss the clash after being recalled to the Waratahs side, however Jim Stewart is expected to play in the centres.
Randwick’s preparations have also been disrupted with Dave Horwitz and Andrew Kellaway also named in the Waratahs side. Kellaway was initially named to play at fullback for the Galloping Greens but is now expected to miss the clash.
