Eastwood v Southern Districts Eastwood suffered their second loss of the season, going down to Randwick 32-24 at Coogee Oval last weekend. The reigning premiers welcome back Jai Ayoub for Saturday’s clash, a rematch of the 2014 grand final. Ayoub has been playing for the Croatian national side in recent weeks. “Jai is our leader in may ways. He has big game experience and makes those crucial decisions when they are needed so it is vital to have him back,” Stu Woodhouse told Rugby News. Souths bounced back from a disappointing loss to Easts with a bonus point win against Norths this week, but were forced to work for the entire 80 minutes against the Shoreman. “I was really happy with the way the boys responded to the previous weeks performance,” Rebels coach Matt Barr said. “We produced the intensity and physicality that we started the season with. Sean Doyle has been really consistent for us in the forwards, as has Denny Godinet in the backs,” Barr added. Jake Dougl
