Sydney University v Northern Suburbs
Opening Round 6 with a floodlit Friday night fixture on University Oval, last season’s premiers proved they are still a force to be reckoned with despite an indifferent start to the season. Seizing on some Norths’ errors and easy penalties, the Students were able to add to the visitors’ frustrations, punishing their mistakes to notch up a convincing home victory that sees them rise one place to fifth on the ladder, hot on the heels of fourth-placed Norths.
