NTU team Capt SK has revealed team spirit is driving him and his warrior team-mates on in their quest for silverware.

Coach Tan's men lead the Intervasity Table by an extra bonus point, and will play NUS in the title deciding match later next week. The Boonlay boys need only a draw to reclaim the trophy they narrowly and undeservedly lost the past 2 years.

NTU Fly half Potato, who has only won the Cup once since joining NTU almost three years ago, said:

"There is a lot of confidence in the team, but we are not over-confident and we definitely respect each of our opponents. NUS game will be difficult but, when you look at the way we are playing for each other, and the things we know we can achieve, it doesnt really matter who the opponents are anymore."

Meanwhile, Stormy Normy is convinced the sheer speed of SK's baby steps in defence will result in more penalty calls against team NTU.

The SMU game's REF accusations of SK being consistantly offside had brought a terse response from Stormy, who claimed the REF was 'naive'.

"His feet are so quick, sometimes you don't realise, so he is going to be penalise during certain moments in the game. It is one thing to be offside at the rucks as bodies are piling all over. But for the backs to illustrate such ill discipline...tsk. I think SK needs a ruler. Either that, or his floppy fringe has got to go, its affecting his vision and judgement."

With 1 match to his name already this season, SK has been one of the major inspirations behind NTU's drive for the title. Could his absence have been the key to NTU's struggles on the field during the pre-season, where the almighty No. 1 team in Boonlay has seldom sputtered beyond first gear.

And the good news for NTU is that he is likely to be around for some time yet. (3 or more years)

NTU's first foreign import in the likes of Zak the Pussy Canadian thoroughly enjoyed his first outing for what he claims is the finest University in Singapore.

"When I was warming up, the squeals of girls by the sidelines made me want to establish myself and show my worth. I guess this country is still warming up to the presence of Angmohs and in time to come, I would have the whole stadium chanting my name when I hunt down the whole back line and turnover the ball, just like the goold old days in Toronto."

News elsewhere...

SMU star Amos the Snubber believes NTU are the favourites to win the Cup this season.

After beating SMU in an impressive manner last saturday, the NUS outfit will now have to test themselves against Coach Tan's men, which Amos predicts will be very tough for team NUS.

The Snubber says: "It's going to be difficult to call. Once again, NUS will need to face NTU with the same spirit that saw them beat us(SMU). NTU are playing really exciting at the moment."

"I personally think that NTU will win. This is because in the previous post, i admit that i am half a NTU man. No matter who i play for, my heart lies with NTU."
