They're undefeated in three tournaments and with one to go, UQ are hoping it stays that way. Despite already wrapping up the Uni 7s series, captain Sadler said her side wouldn't be taking a backwards step at Bond this weekend.

University of Queensland is set to make history in the final round of the inaugural Aon Uni 7s Series in trying to finish the four-tournament competition undefeated.

There are however seven other teams out to spoil that fairytale.

While it is unlikely that UQ will be pipped for the overall Series win, Bond University will be out to not only topple the reigning leaders but to secure the final tournament win at home.

The team lists are looking good with some welcome returns from injury for University of New England and Macquarie as Alicia Quirk and Dom Du Toit respectively, come back for the final hit-out.

But the hosts will have to head into battle without Wallaroo Millie Boyle who has been strong for them in the heat of the contest in the previous rounds.
