Sydney Uni coach Michael Hodge believes that they will take a far more disciplined Northern Suburbs side when the Shute Shield finals series kicks off on Saturday.

When these two teams met in Round 12 at Camperdown, referee Amy Perrett went to the pocket three times as Norths copped yellow cards and were bashed up well and truly at scrum time.

That meant that Norths were short handed for 30 minutes of that October 3 clash and it’s something that is unlikely to happen this time around.
