The Super U20s competition is back underway this weekend, with some thrilling encounters expected.

The Gen Blue U20s will be looking to keep their perfect record intact when they  take on the Brumbies Colts U20s at Vikings Park in Wollongong, coming in fresh off a second round bye.

Outside centre Esera Chee-Kam was impressive in their round one win against the Western Force scoring a double and proving elusive in attack.

Scrumhalf Theo Strang  was also instrumental in their first round win and should be primed to make an impact against their close rivals.

The Brumbies will be desperate to make amends for a loss to the Rebels last weekend in Canberra.

They've got their own promising stars, with highly-rated flyhalf Nick Jooste and flanker Robert Valentini both set to run out on the South Coast.

The Melbourne Rebels U20s face a winless Western Force U20s At Gosch’s Paddock on Sunday in Melbourne.

Melbourne will be full of confidence after putting their first win on the board last week with a hard fought 17-14 victory over the Brumbies in Canberra.

The Western Force U20s have shown patches of fantastic form in their past two matches but need to pull out an 80-minute effort to break their duck. 

Prop Shambeckler Vui will be key for the visitors, after crossing for two tries in their narrow 41-36 round one loss to the Gen Blue U20s.
