Brothers, Wanderers clash in CRU main game

 By KYMLIE KARANI

KRAMER Ausenco Brothers are gearing up for a tough bout with Wanderers in the clash of the round in Capital Rugby Union at Bava rugby park tomorrow.

Brothers should be at full-strength with the return of their Pukpuks development squad members from the Gold Coast, Australia.

After losing to Defence in the opening round, they will relish the return of back-rower Cyjoh Waingut and centre Mara Katam to strengthen their resolve.

In the forwards, Auloh Ottio, Tinoi Robert and Johnny Passingan have a tough assignment. 

Wanderers, will be looking to give some beef with overlooked Pukpuk prop Shane Kamburi, former international back-rower Aaron Miai and PNG development squad members William Maniot and Emmanuel Mora out to keep their winning form.

Wiry Brothers five-eighth Jack Maraha will be the key to engineering a win.

In the other matches tomorrow, Chiefs will find it tough against Harlequins and the battle of the Murray Barracks clubs in Defence and Spartans will more than likely expose some bitter rivalry.

On Sunday, Kemele University Piggies will be tested by Motuan Warriors and Nova should humble a struggling LaSallians outfit.

In the women’s action also on Sunday, Nova enforcer Lynette Kwarula will lead her team against Spartans on Sunday.

Try scoring-machine Kwarula, from East New Britain and East Sepik, will lead again after last weekend’s crushing 49-0 win over Wanderers.

Spartans are expected to come back hard against Nova with the advantage of their backline in the likes of current sevens internationals Menda Ipat, Yarowena Morofa, Dulcie Bomai and Alice Alois, back from injury.
