The pair both started their New England careers in 2013 with Bartlett suiting up for St Alberts and Tiko, whose brother Navi has been playing with Pirates this season, the Armidale Blues, and were huge contributors to the New England rugby landscape during their time in Armidale.

Both represented New England from 2013-2016 with Bartlett going on tour the USA with the NSW Country Development Tour squad in 2014 and represent the Cockatoos in 2016.

That was later capped off by helping Albies claim the premiership, the second-rower also scooping the first grade best and fairest and senior representative player of the year awards.

He joined the Gallopers in 2017, winning a premiership in 2018 and an Australian Club Championship in 2019.

He didn't play with them last season as he was over in Scotland with Stirling County but was voted by GPS fans and members as the lock of the decade (2010-2019).

The other semi-final will be played on Saturday and feature the University of Queensland and Brothers.

Both games will be streamed on Stan Sport.
