It's still early in the Premiership season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Eastern Suburbs - Team Wellington preview!
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Team Wellington have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 2-1-2 (win-draw-loss) from five matches.
