It was like the good old days; a couple of Wallabies in the XV, a fired up opponent in Manly trying to outdraw the top gun, and a bigger than normal crowd at a cold and windy No.1 Oval.
With Phil Waugh at flanker and the club’s latest Australian representative, Dean Mumm, in the second-row, the Students prevailed 30-18 after leading 17-6 at the break. And though Sydney University dominated possession, territory and the scrum, the committed Marlins restricted them to three tries to two in a tough and, at times, entertaining encounter.
