After breaking through for their first win of the season, the One New Zealand Warriors will strive to back it up when they host a powerful South Sydney side in Sunday’s eighth-round SG Ball Cup (under-19) encounter at Redfern Oval in Sydney (1.00pm kick-off NZT).

There was a sense of elation and relief when the luckless Warriors held off the St George Dragons for a 20-12 win, a result which saw them vault four other teams to to sit 12th on the ladder.

Now they face a team at the other end of the table in the second-placed South Sydney Rabbitohs who have lost just once this season and showed no mercy in dismissing Penrith 52-8 last week.

The One New Zealand Warriors will need to build on the heavy dose of resilience they showed in grinding out their win over the Dragons.

SG Ball Highlights: Elated Warriors nail first victory

They take on the Rabbitohs with a largely settled combination although they’re missing winger Connor Bowden, who scored two tries against the Dragons.
