All is on the line this weekend as the University of Queensland, University of Sydney and Griffith University hunt for the 2019 Aon University Sevens Series crown.

In the final round of the competition, the University of Queensland holds an eight-point lead over both Queensland and NSW rivals Griffith and Sydney University. A top-three finish would see the University of Queensland win the competition for the second time after claiming the inaugural title in 2017.

The final round is also set to see the return of 15 members of the Australian Sevens program with Charlotte Caslick set to link up with Bond, while Sharni Williams will take to the field for the University of Canberra in their home leg.

Australia co-captain Shannon Parry is set to bolster the University of Sydney as they look to stay in contention for their first title. Recent World Series debutant Madison Ashby will reinforce competition newcomers, UTS as they look to cap off their breakout season.

Every match of round four of the 2019 Aon University Sevens Series will be streamed LIVE and FREE on RUGBY.com.au.
