The NORTH vs SOUTH Game will return as part of the USA Rugby League sporting calendar in Tampa on Sept 9, 2017.

USARL Chairman Peter Illfield spoke about the importance of the event, “The impact of this September 9 ‘All-star” game will rest heavy on our players, who are chosen to represent their conference. After the conclusion of the regular USARL season, this match is another opportunity to impress selectors for the 23-man squad going to RLWC2017. It highlights the importance of the 2017 season for our clubs and players by recognizing and acknowledging the talent our players have shown during the year.”

NORTH & SOUTH Squads Announced
Brent Richardson (Brooklyn Kings) will coach the NORTH team for the second time, and Sean Rutgerson (Jacksonville Axemen) coaching the SOUTH. Both teams could be likely to play-off in the USARL Championship Final before they front up again to face-off under this representative format.

Brent Richardson was eager to highlight the importance and timing of this annual clash, "The NORTH vs SOUTH All-star game allows players to test their ability against the best in the USARL competition and much needed spotlight for identifying talent for the upcoming World Cup and Test Matches. It is vital that we get an understanding of which American players can match it with the best in the world and this game is the perfect stepping stone."
