The Direct Connect Dewar Shield throws up some cracking matches in Round Four on Saturday, with Melbourne Uni and Box Hill looking to retain their perfect status in two home matches. Last weekend, late withdrawals meant fifteen allocated Rebels players were in action, still smashing the previous...

Seems like Dom is playing for Uni this weekend so English and Sefa are probably going to be the starting wingers.

Yeah but Shipperly has been in better form and you can't drop Sefa after his form either. Pine for English IMO.

The Moorabbin scrum was a lot better in the 2nd half when Tui came on, he seemed to sure up things for Moorabbin and they actually pushed Uni backwards a few times. As for the backline Uni's 13 just seemed to find space everywhere he looked and the back 3 ran off him really well. The two...

Whilst I agree to an extent we are 3 from 7 at the moment and looking dangerous when we back ourselves to run it, I would be more than happy with a 50:50 ratio at the end of the year as a fan.

Round 3 results. Melbourne Uni 58 d Moorabbin 20 Footscray 24 d Power House 10 Box Hill 32 d Melbourne Unicorns 31 Harlequin 50 d Southern Districts 27 By my reckoning the table should be 1. Uni 2. Box Hill 3. Footscray 4. Souths 5. Endeavour 6. Melbourne 7. Quins 8. House 9. Moorabbin

Nope, it's only the 1st game of the season between the two sides. I think in the past they used to try and get the junior grades playing on the same day as well, and tried to make a full day of Quins v Box Hill however with the junior season starting a lot later over the last few years it...

Box Hill had the blazer anyway as they won the 1st game between the sides last year. Quins won't like not having it for a 2nd year in a row.

It's an old saying, but unless you are willing to be a referee yourself then you probably shouldn't consistently bad mouth them. Without referees we don't have a game.

Full review of the round from the Rebels. The 2015 Direct Connect Dewar Shield kicked off on Saturday with one theme ever-present across all four games; the standard of Club Rugby in Victoria is well and truly on the rise. On the back of the introduction of allocated Rebels in 2014, both their...

I reckon Moorabbin - Box Hill is going to be a cracker of a game, if both sides "turn up" then it should be a free flowing end to end affair. If I could I would go down to watch it.

Warren Whitley (?) will be immense, he is usually everywhere if fantasy points are anything to go by. Elton Janties is actually playing quite well, although I am not sure how he will go at 12, from what I remember his tackling isn't the best so sending some big forwards down the 12 channel will...

I would bring in Reid instead of Samo.

I don't know where this has come from however I have heard it a lot over the last couple of season. You can be offside whilst in in-goal.
