RAMS TAC Cup team announced

This shapes as one of the side’s toughest matches of its campaign thus far, with Eastern Ranges (5-2) in third position on the TAC Cup ladder.

After an indifferent start to the year Eastern Ranges hit their straps with a run of three consecutive wins, before the streak was halted by Dandenong in a hard-fought Round 7 encounter.

But the Ranges returned to the winners’ list last round, comfortably accounting for Geelong Falcons.

The RAMS play less matches than Melbourne-based sides in the TAC Cup competition, and as such sit eighth on the table, with a 3-1 winning record.

NSW/ACT is amidst a purple patch of form, having won their past two matches, and the side should be relatively fresh after a week off.

With both outfits eager to build into the second half of the season, this match-up will be eagerly anticipated, with a host of young talent well and truly in the draft mix on display.
