QUOTING HEAD COACH TODD THORNLEY
"We have spent the last two weeks training hard and working on key areas of our game, so I am eager to see if we have progressed this coming Saturday. Cal Poly have played a lot more rugby than us, they are extremely well coached and have some fantastic athletes with great skillsets so we will be put under a lot of pressure. We look forward to playing in front of our fans and putting in a performance we can be proud of".
