THE WARM-UP:
**********************
Last weekend’s 44-0 demolition of Eastern Suburbs was a much needed shot in the arm for the Students as they looked to reignite their run to the finals having lost four of their previous six matches. Still missing Tom Carter, Liam Winton and Henry Clunies-Ross, they have been boosted by the return of Jim Stewart from injury while Tom Kingston prepared for only his second outing for Uni since the 2013 Grand Final.
West Harbour came into this clash off the back of a terrific win over Randwick that re-established their credentials as a finals contender. With Joe Barakat having established a solid foundation of work in a short period of time before heading off to join Ulster, the coaching baton has passed to Mark Gudmonson to steer this side into a top six finish, where performances have already shown they can be a match for anyone.
