Gordon crashed to their first loss of the season last Saturday against Northern Suburbs but Highlanders coach Darren Coleman reckons that good things will flow from that as the finals loom.

The Highlanders take on Sydney Uni in their final home match of the season and Coleman is keen to see some of the learnings from the tough loss to derby rivals Norths show out against the Students.

“We learnt some great lessons last week on how to counter a very strong defensive wall, ones that I’m confident will stand us in good stead this week,” Coleman opined.
