The Westbus West Sydney Razorbacks will play the first of two pre-season games against the Wollongong Hawks this Friday night at the Snakepit in Beaton Park.

The Razorbacks, who are coming off a good win against the Gold Coast Blaze this past weekend, will field a full strength team, except for Liam Rush who is currently sidelined with a slight back injury. New Zealand international Tony Rampton will make his debut for the Razorbacks, which is sure to strengthen their frontline even more.

“It will be great to finally have Tony onboard with the team,” Head Razorbacks Rob Beveridge said. “His presence on the interior, particularly on the boards, along with his experience will be a big plus for our team this season.”

The Razorbacks currently are undefeated in their pre-season with a 5-0 record.
