Former Wallaby captain Ben Mowen is back at Easts to chase another rugby dream of his – winning the Hospital Cup for his beloved Tigers.

Off to a good start this season, Easts had a 31-24 win against UQ in the first round of points competition on the weekend. It comes on the back of two strong trial wins against Sunnybank and Wests.

“The ultimate goal is winning the premiership,” the Easts captain said.  “We’re not aiming any lower than that.

“We’ve been quite upfront with our planning and road-mapping as a group, and our expectations around how we’re going to get there.”
