SERIES HISTORY
COACHES CORNER:
Head Coach Matt Sherman:
"We're looking forward to the huge challenges of both our first away trip and a very good St. Bonaventure team. We felt there were a few areas where we performed strongly last weekend and we want to build on those, while there were two significant areas, we identified we must improve on to take a step forward this weekend, and we're excited to apply those lessons.'
HEAR FROM THE GUYS
Pat Oglesbee:
"Our main focus continues to be chasing our best performance. The lessons from our first two matches and the hunger in our hearts puts us in a great position to do just that. Excited to take the pitch against a good opponent."
Shane Sunday:
"We're simply working on ourselves right now. We're not worried about what St Bonaventure is going to throw at us but how we can better our style of play to be the best team possible. We're excited for another game in Rugby East."
