The National, Friday 31st May 2013

 LONG-TIME rivals Harlequins and University Piggies meet in the game of the round in Capital Rugby Union (CRU) at Monier Park tomorrow.

This will be the first time in two years that both clubs will again rekindle their rivalry.

Harlequins, currently undefeated after four matches, have set the benchmark this season with their open style that has seen them win in easy fashion.

Brothers gave them a tough outing last week, Harlies still had too much depth to force the win.

 The Piggies coming off their first loss to Wanderers will be hungry to bounce back in what is anticipated to be a fiercely contested clash.

The Piggies came crashing back to earth with that loss and will be keen to make amends with a much more committed performance against the reigning champions.

Harlequins pack led by fetcher Avosa Kaipu and featuring Pukpuks Leme Tole, Desmond Korpok and Monty Diave will present a tough assignment for Uni.

The Piggies have Pukpuks Jimmy Meria and Philip Suapo along with big Tui Fifiato to make it an interesting tussle. 

Fixtures: Defence vs Wanderers, Spartans vs LaSallians, Warriors vs Juggernauts.
