Sydney Women’s Rugby Union is back this Saturday 1 August, with Chikarovski Cup Round 14 and Div 2 Cup Round 12 both on the card.

Ladder leaders Two Blues travel to Newcastle to face fourth-placed Wildfires. Two Blues have been the competition’s most consistent side with a points differential of +175, and a win here strengthens their grip on top spot. Wildfires need the points to keep their fourth-placed position secure.
Gordon v Warringah — Pittwater Rugby Park No. 2 | Sat 1 August, 12:00 PM
Gordon host fifth-placed Warringah in a fixture with little to separate the two sides on recent form. Gordon are seventh on 24 points and will be looking to pick up points at home, while Warringah are looking to hold fifth on the Chikarovski Cup ladder.
Souths v Manly — Forshaw Rugby Park | Sat 1 August, 4:45 PM
The standout fixture of the round. Manly sit four points behind Two Blues heading into this one, and with it scheduled last on the day, Manly will know exactly what result is required by kick-off. Souths are sixth on 29 points and will be looking to pick up points at home. If Two Blues drop points earlier in the round, this match has direct implications for top spot on the Chikarovski Cup ladder.
