ZINGARI-RICHMOND GREEN ISLAND

As we enter Round 8 of the Premier 1 competition it’s hard to believe that both Zingari-Richmond and Green Island haven’t registered a win. Both teams have played patches of outstanding rugby, but on to many occasions have switched off at the crucial stage, which has cost them dearly. Zingari-Richmond will look to their forward pack with the likes of Tonga, Rowe, Still and Woolfreys to lay the platform for a dangerous backline who have shown on more than one occasion that they aren’t afraid to run the ball from anywhere. Green Island, similar to Zingari- Richmond will be expecting another big shift from their forward pack who haven’t taken a backwards step this year on the back of McCutcheon, Kirkwood and Kingsbury, whilst their backline has looked better and better each week. One thing is for certain, this match will come down to who wants it the most. When the going gets tough one of these sides will produce a match winning moment, the side that does will take home the Hellyer Memorial.

Players to Watch: Thomas Johnson (Zingari-Richmond) playing some of his best footy in 2017, TJ has chosen the perfect moment between attacking the line and unleashing his outside backs. If he can replicate this vs. Green Island then the Dragons will be a huge chance. Sunia Makasini (Green Island) seems to find a way to beat the first defender more times than not (Similar to another Green Island Fullback who also plays for the All Blacks!) If Sunia can produce another magical display, then expect the Grizzlies to attain the necessary ascendency to go on and win the match.
