A little under a decade ago it was Todd Louden who was calling the coaching shots at Sydney Uni and Michael Hodge was the emerging star looking for a crack at Super Rugby.

The two will go head to head on Saturday when Sydney Uni and Southern Districts play in the 7TWO match of the round - Louden as the man pressing the reset button at the Rebels and Hodge the guy thrown the keys to the Ferrari that is Uni.

They had some great times together including the Shute Shield grand final win in 2012 that was ironically played out against Southern Districts, and both are looking forward to the battle that will play out through Saturday.

“It’s a special week coming up against Todd,” Hodge said.
