Mariners are out for Mud in top-of-the-table FNQ Rugby clash

By Michael Warren, Cairns Post
IT was the FNQ rugby heavyweight bout won on points by undefeated Northern Beaches Mud Crabs against JCU Mariners more than a month ago at Ivanhoes.
Tomorrow, it’s the much anticipated round 13 rematch with the competition frontrunners resuming their rivalry, with the hosts hellbent on avenging their round six 34-22 loss to the title favourites.
“Mud Crabs are still unbeaten this season, so obviously they continue to play good rugby,” JCU Mariners player Christian Aruha said.
“We know if we stick to what works for us, and take the game to them in the forwards, we’ll be competitive.
