Queensland Premier Rugby – Round 10 Team Lists
Easts v Souths – David Wilson Field, 3.20pm – Game of the Round LIVE Streamed
This weekend’s Game of the Round will see Easts host Souths at David Wilson Field. The last time the two met, Souths were victorious 29-26. Currently, only five points on the table separate the two teams, with Easts in sixth position and Souths in eighth. In recent weeks, Easts have challenged competition leaders UQ and GPS, losing by only four points in both fixtures. However, Easts will need to be extremely cautious of Souths and their ability to score tries from any position on the field. If you can’t make it out to David Wilson Field, you can catch the game on the live stream via www.redsrugby.com.au or Facebook LIVE.

Wests v GPS – Sci-Fleet Stadium, 5.10pm – LIVE Streamed
The Bulldogs host the Gallopers at Sci-Fleet Stadium on Saturday in a much-anticipated clash. Eight points on the ladder separate the teams with GPS firmly in second spot while Wests sit in fourth position. In Round 5, the Gallopers defeated the Bulldogs after the buzzer, earning a penalty try after multiple scrum infringements. Since then, Wests have shown impressive form beating Souths, Easts, Bond University and narrowly losing to Norths. Will the Gallopers distance themselves from the chasing pack or will the Bulldogs get their revenge? If you can’t get to the Kennel, then head to www.redsrugby.com.au and tune into the live stream.

Bond University v Sunnybank – Bond University RFC, 3.20pm
Bond University will host Sunnybank at Robina on Saturday. Bond will be desperate to get themselves off the bottom of the ladder and get their season back on track after a tough loss to the Red Heavies last weekend. Sunnybank are coming off an impressive 49-19 win over Brothers last weekend and have an opportunity to challenge GPS for second place. Bond’s desperation and the momentum gained by Sunnybank is the perfect recipe for a heated encounter this weekend.
Bond University: Sam Clifton, Alex Mafi, Jonathon Phelan, Rubin Fuimaono, Cadeyrn Neville, Nixon Taramai, Joel Brown, Tainui Ford, Vitori Buatava, Scott Daruda, Adam Higgins, Helaman Samuela, Jack Redden, Hayden Sargeant, Mitch Third

University of Queensland v Norths – St.Lucia, 3.20pm
The Red Heavies host the Eagles at Stade de Heavy on Saturday and will undoubtedly enter the clash as favourites. The last time the two sides met it was a high scoring fixture with UQ claiming a 54-34 win. Norths won’t be short on confidence when taking on the front runners after recording an inspiring 37-33 upset victory over Wests last weekend. Defence will be the key for Norths, as they attempt to contain a potent Red Heavies backline.
