United gets a good chance to post consecutive Round 3 wins this week, and playing teams like the Taipans shouldn’t be too difficult for them.

The Taipans have talented players, but they rarely play for the full 40 minutes, and to beat United, you need to be focused for the entire game.

Given their experience and raw ability, United should have no trouble in handing the Taipans another loss, and it should be a one-sided affair at John Cain Arena.
