The students executed a consistent 80 minutes of rugby in May's last encounter, leading to a 55-19 victory at University Oval, and it's that brand of rugby Conyers is chasing on the Wombats' home turf.

CSU may have already sown up a top two position but the coach doesn't want his team to ease up against a club who have solidified their position as the third best outfit in the competition.

"Both times we've played them this year we've struggled against their set play, in particular their scrum," Conyers said.

"I believe they've got the best scrum in the competition, by far.

"The last time we played Mudgee I consider that game to be the last time we played really, really well together as a team.

"If we play to that standard again then I think we're going to do very well."

The advantage CSU have in their bid to cope with Mudgee's physicality is that they will be close to a full strength team.

"We've pretty much named the same team as last week, with only two changes," Conyer said.

"Aiden Kennelly is back but Oscar Nicholson got injured and Harry Hunt is unavailable.

"Obviously with holidays we'll struggle a little bit in second grade for numbers, which affects the depth of our bench.

"While we're a bit short on forwards our backline is humming at the moment so I think we should be okay.

Baden Kelly comes in to replace Hunt on the wing.

Kelly has top football pedigree on his side.

He is the son of Larry Kelly, who played five seasons of first grade rugby league for North Sydney.

The match kicks off from 3.15pm Saturday.
