The Students go back to the drawing board

Eastwood have recovered from a 49-point loss last weekend to score a comprehensive 35-11 victory over Sydney University at University Oval No.1.

The result keeps Eastwood well-entrenched in the competition's top six, while the Students' fifth loss - and third defeat from four games at home - drops the defending champions to tenth.

The Woodies scored four tries to one, with Ben Batger collecting a personal haul of 20 points in just his second match since returning from a stint with Italian club Pro Recco.
