The rivalry match of Seasonal Rugby is upon us. The rematch of the Season 1 Grand Final. In that match, the Giants came out as worthy winners, but will they today? That is the question. Neither teams change alot from their Round 2 matches, but for the Spartans, JP Wilkinson comes in for JJ Ritchie. BOY Blunder moves to 12, and P Orr slots in at 13. RG Cribb drops to the bench with JRE Luffman moving to 9 and E Ames to Fly Half. L Tyson also makes way for KF Tait who will play on the wing. RS Hutchinson makes his place on the other wing. The only change to the Giants line-up is Carson comes in to play prop and SM Morgan moves to Second Row after the dispute about his contract. Spartans 1. DA Eggman 2. AJ Izett 3. JP Wilkinson 4.

Spartans should be looking to bounce back here after a trouncing from the Vikings. They are solid all over the place but need to up their morale and take down a Giants team who have a stellar backline but may be lacking a bit in the forwards.
Giants to own IMO. Eds is being all secretive this time, so doesn't want to give the game away before it happens.
