United gets a good chance to post consecutive Round 3 wins this week, and playing teams like the Taipans shouldn\u2019t be too difficult for them.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
