After overcoming a sluggish start to the season, UQ have arguably been the form team of the Hospital Cup regular season. 

The Red Heavies haven’t lost since June 1 and have scored on average 42 points a match in their six wins and two draws across the second round of the competition. 

“We had a few changes in the team and the coaching staff last offseason and I think it took us a little while through the early parts of the year to find our rhythm and our groove,” UQ playmaker Brad Twidale told Rugby News. 

“As the year progressed, we worked out the type of footy that we wanted to play and built some combinations which allowed us to play our style more consistently.”

Despite an eight-game unbeaten streak, UQ’s poor start to the season cost the Red Heavies a spot in the major semi final.
