Two Queensland U16 teams have been selected based on performances at school and club Rugby level and two internal trials at Ballymore.
The Maroon and White sides will face off in a match at Riverside Rugby Club this month after the Junior Rugby U16 Championships (JRC) were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Queensland Reds Head of Talent Management Paul Carozza said: “Although disappointed that our players won’t get the chance to test their abilities against teams from out of state, we are excited to see them in action against each other this month.
“These matches will provide our developing players the chance to play with and against the best players in their age group as they continue to progress through the Queensland Rugby pathway.”
