    Watch who the Pindan Premier Grade clubs are tipping as the teams to beat in 2013 here.

    Match of the Round: Palmyra v Nedlands at Tompkins Park, Alfred Cove
    Two first round winners, Nedlands and Palmyra, will go head to head in the Match of the Round as they stake their claims for an early upper hand in the Pindan Premier Grade on Saturday.

    Nedlands come off a five-point win over reigning premiers, Associates, while Palmyra grabbed a stoppage time victory over the newly-located Wests Scarborough in Round One.

    The last time the teams met Palmyra walked away from The Foreshore with the points, defeating the minor premiers, 34-27.

    Nedlands welcome back Emirates Western Force squad member Locky McCaffrey to the rear of the scrum along with the promotion of Davis Tavitta from the bench to flyhalf, while Pally will look to the same XV that accounted for Wests Scarborough last week to get the job done against last year’s minor premiers.

    Nedlands coach Tony Ball expects the scrum and lineout to have a strong bearing on the match.

    “Their set piece was really good; the front row in particular is incredibly strong, so if we can quash that and come out 50/50 at scrum and lineout time hopefully our backline will be able to get on top,” he said.

    “They also have a really strong openside flanker in Sean Stapleton so we have to try and nullify his influence at the breakdown.”

    Palmyra boss Dave Ball expects the addition of McCaffrey to strengthen an already potent back row.

    “Locky McCaffrey is going to be a huge threat to us, he loves to carry and he works hard to get in to those wider channels,” he said.
    “They’ve got a good back row anyway and they are particularly strong in the centres as well. You know exactly what you’re going to get and this is definitely going to be a very tough and competitive contest.”

    Palmyra: 1. Joe Savage, 2. Shane Manu, 3. Conor Higgins, 4. James Riddell, 5. Fraley Hopa, 6. Hayden Croghan, 7. Sean Stapleton, 8. Jimmy Tioke, 9. Brad Fell, 10. Sam Jurisich, 11. Steven Cullingworth, 12. Regy Manu, 13. Vaa Mailei, 14. Nick Els, 15. Tutere Waenga. Res: 16. Eli George, 17. Rob Vadas, 18. Shannan McRae, 19. Mark Nuu, 20. Stuart Dyer, 21. Gannon Karena, 22. Jared Trevathan
    Nedlands: 1.Joe Richie, 2. Mason Pamore, 3. Travis Church, 4. Cal Sauer, 5. Scott Stevens, 6. Steve Tong, 7. Richard Naylor, 8. Rob Carter, 9. Micheal Ruru, 10. Davis Tavita, 11. Ben Titoko, 12. Ryan Mcloud, 13. Cam Crowley, 14. Jake Wilson, 15. Fred Tuua.
    Referee: Graham Cooper

    Perth Bayswater v Kalamunda at Pat O’Hara Reserve, Morley
    Strong off-season recruiting looks to have Kalamunda on the right track after the Bulls cruised past Rockingham – 36-7 – in last weekend’s opening fixture.

    After finishing at the wrong end of the ladder last season, both teams will have an opportunity to build some valuable momentum, with two wins on the trot in store for the winner.

    The clubs haven’t met since the halfway mark of last season, when Perth Bayswater claimed a five-point win.

    Kalamunda will be eager to balance the ledger having lost both encounters in 2012.

    Perth Bayswater: 1.Laoine Mulikihaamea, 2. Chris Kidd, 3. Ian Hendriks, 4. Jesse Rapana, 5. Jason Woolfitt, 6. James Eliaschewsky, 7. Jake Buist, 8. Jurrell Te Kahu, 9. James Rameka, 10. Ethan Reed, 11. Eroni Lagavakatini, 12. Wynston Cameron-Dow, 13. Wade Bryant, 14. Zubayr Abrahams, 15.Thomas Grosso.
    Kalamunda: Not Submitted
    Referee: Robert Burns

    Rockingham v UWA at Lark Hill Sports Complex, Rockingham
    After being humbled to the tune of 45 points by a powerful Cottesloe outfit in Round One, the Students will be looking to bounce back with a strong performance against Rockingham.

    Coach Steve McFarland has reacted with five changes to the starting XV, including two new front rowers in Elliot Dhrury and Jacob Gionoli. Luke Burton is unavailable due to his inclusion in the Australian Under 20’s selection camp in Canberra, allowing Levon Kwas-Rothwell to start at flyhalf.

    Rockingham started the 2013 season in similar vein to UWA with a 29-point loss to last year’s closest contemporary, Kalamunda.

    UWA accounted for Rockingham in both of the clashes last season and will be hoping last week was an aberration as it attempts to open its account for 2013.

    UWA: 1. Christian Tedge, 2. Elliot Dhrury, 3. Jacob Gionoli, 4. Bruce Smith- Wright 5. Mark Westcott, 6. Richard Hardwick, 7.Michael Patching, 8. Cian O'Connor, 9. Ethan Carlisle, 10. Levon Kwas-Rothwell, 11. Mike Innes, 12. James Wilson, 13. Joel Rapana, 14. Stef Grobler, 15. Mike Lees.
    Rockingham: Not Submitted
    Referee: Daylan Waetford

    Wanneroo v Cottesloe at Kingsway Reserve, Lansdale.
    The Gulls will fly into Round Two full of confidence after routing the team it played in last season’s minor semi-final, UWA, by 45 points on Sunday.

    Cottesloe has made only one change to last week’s line up, with Kaiser Reidy coming in to cover for Ollie Hoskins, who joins Luke Burton at the Australian Under 20’s selection camp.

    Both matches between the sides last season were fiercely competitive, with Cottesloe winning both games by an aggregate of just seven points.

    Wanneroo: Not Submitted
    Cottesloe: 1. Rich Cooper, 2. Urbain Lawrence, 3. Kaiser Reidy, 4. Kieran Stringer, 5. Adrian Hall, 6. Jarrett Budworth (c), 7. Chris Walker, 8. Rory Crowhen, 9. Ryan Louwrens, 10. Sean Martin, 11. Matt Richards, 12. Tobias Hoskins, 13. Nick Haining, 14. Ed Melville, 15. Tane Manga. Res: 17. Stef Cooper, 19. Mark Jackson.
    Referee: John Hill

    Wests Scarborough v Associates at Allen Park, Swanbourne
    Newly-located Wests Scarborough faces another tough road trip, taking on reigning premiers, Associates, at home for the first time this season.

    Wests have stuck with the same team that lost to Palmyra by two points last week, when a stoppage time penalty goal allowed Pally to steal the win.

    Both teams will feel they had opportunities to win their respective Round One fixtures, however, by the end of the weekend one side will be still be chasing their first win.

    Associates proved much too strong for Wests in the sides’ two matches last season, combining for a percentage boosting aggregate of 88-31.

    Wests Scarborough: 1. Junior Sala, 2. Conan Houkamau, 3. Ben Diaper, 4. Josh Katene, 5. Matt Obrien, 6. Thomas Goosey, 7. Kane Koteka, 8. Brad Griffiths, 9. Michael Marshal (c), 10. Marty Campbell, 11. Saula Fifita, 12. Brendan Anderson, 13. Allan Wheeler, 14. Johnny Whittaker, 15. Dylan Parsons.
    Associates: Not Submitted
    Referee: Alex Ninkov

    Does this confirm that Tupou and CTM will not be in the 22 on saturday night then? or we can't take these releases seriously?

    “Everyone knows whether it’s rugby, politics or whatever, front-rowers should rule the world, so to have a hooker at the helm makes sense,” Nathan Charles Western Force & Wallabies Hooker.

    - Work Cott, that type of score line usually only pops up in the last few rounds, not rd 2... was it F/O week up in Wannas?

    - Appears solid from Rocky, anyone catch the game..... can we expect a few upsets from them this year?

    - Westies Man, Did you have Te Rangi, Bunce and Lacey playing or are they injuried, MIA or over east, can you fill us in ... ? cheers

    Some sort of Match reports from anyone would be much appreciated??? (Prems, 2nds, 20s & 18s) biased or impartial, doesn't bother me as long as there's no hate.... I would rather reports from punters on the ground than formal...
