Both have a plethora of experience and talent spread throughout their line-ups and both coaches and players relish the opportunity to battle it out on the field with the opposing side.
“Over the last few years we have been pretty competitive against each other and playing off in the grand final last year adds to it,” Warriors mentor Josh Reichman said. “It’s a game we look forward to playing and a game that we want to try and win.”
His Power counterpart Danny Finn agreed.
“We have built a really good rivalry against them over the last few years. Nothing has been spoken about last year, it's just another opportunity to play a quality team,” the Power premiership coach said.
“The boys are really excited to come up against Old Collegians.”
