Well, here we go. This is when the season really starts. We played RGC 1404 three times last season and managed three victories but none of them were easy, and they scored 84 points against us. They are a well organised side and this will be a tough encounter, but we can expect plenty of points.
The Black & Ambers have had a good pre-season with three victories, and they have given game time to some promising players. It will be interesting to see how they go in the first few games.
