With a new coach, a new general manager and pretty much an entirely new first grade starting XV, Sydney Uni are going to look fairly different both on and off the field in 2022.

Experienced coach Sean Hedger has replaced Rob Taylor as first grade head coach and inherited a new look Uni side with plenty of holes to fill.

Despite that, Hedger and his Students are still chasing Shute Shield success in 2022.

“We’ve lost more than half the side from last year. I think they counted 12 of 15 from a few matches that have moved on,” Hedger told Rugby News.

“Matty Hood has gone over to the MLR, Matt Sandell is studying at Oxford, Tom Osbourne is also over there and he actually made his debut for Harlequins a few weeks ago.”
