Australian Rugby League Commission Chairman Peter V’landys AM said the Commission was excited to promote emerging talent through the new under-19s matches.
“This is a chance to see the best and brightest prospects in the game,” Mr V’landys said. “Why wouldn’t we want to take the opportunity to showcase the talents of these amazing young players?”

This will be one of many new initiatives promoting the next generation of players to the fans.

Dylan is a Kiwi with Samoan heritage, can play for either.

Sam Loizou is eligible for Greece

Luca Moretti eligible for Italy?

You'd think that plenty would put their hands up, cos it's a free trip to the UK.

Eli El-Zakhem is already a Lebanese rep.

Yeah and going to the WC will also mean they can get out of preseason training as they need to be given a minimum 8 week break from when they finish rep duties.

So plenty of players will be keen to go.

Is the WC schedule out ?

Hope it doesn’t clash with The Big show, The Big Rig , Sir Wadey and The Bison defending their T20 title

Yep not sure If there is any clashes but being in the UK most games will probably be either the following morning or around midnight.

The Bison would make a decent edge forward I reckon...

 

[Twizzle]

he'd be permanently injured, he made out of plastic

Partner Shaun Lane in the second row ?

Kiwis squad boosted ahead of Rugby League World Cup

Kiwi's have a strong squad. They'll be hard to beat to be honest.

A middle rotation of Bromwich, Fisher-Harris, JWH, Asofa-Solomona, and Tapine is just scary.
