Premiership heavyweights the University of Queensland and Bond University will face off in Round 6 of the Hospital Cup, while last year’s premiers continue their search for their first win of 2021.

The Heavies are without a number of their stars, including Mac Grealy, Josh Nasser, Will Roach and Connor Vest, but will be bolstered by the return of Sam Wallis and skipper Pat Morrey in the second row.

With both sides potent with ball in hand, UQ assistant coach Elton Berrange said the defensice side of the clash will be pivotal

“It’s a really tough clash this week against Bond, they have quality across the whole field,” Berrange said.
