Preview by Red Sports reader Jon Leow.

Come this Saturday, the Ngee Ann Polytechnic Rhinos will play the Singapore Cricket Club Colts in a friendly rugby game in preparation for the upcoming Polytechnic- Institute of Technical Education (POL-ITE) Rugby Championship.

Ngee Ann, like the other schools, have been playing a series of friendlies as they look to better their 2006 3rd-place finish in the tournament. Headed by new coach Damnien Pierra, the Rhinos look a more structured side in 2007.With the addition of several new boys such as National under-20 trainee Mhd Nabil, the team will look to be a threat in the forwards.

The SCC Colts are the youth development squad of the Singapore Cricket Club rugby section, and will feature a whole host of recent national age-group players as well as some talented players from local schools.

While the matchup might look uneven, it promises to be a contest, and at any event, any rugby played on the padang is a great exprience which both teams will relish.
