The Australian Schools Rugby Union has announced the additional players who’ve been added to the Australian Schoolboys and Barbarians teams for the Tri Nations series in October.
The headline game will be the Test Match between Australian Schools and New Zealand Schools on Saturday 7 October.
This eagerly awaited match, which has been won 5 times each in the last 10 meetings, will be broadcast live on Fox Sports and lived streamed on rugby.com.au and Facebook.

Also participating in the series are the Fijian Schools team and the Australian Barbarians (previously known as Australia A).
Look to both of these teams to play an exciting, attacking game. They will be out to knock off their more fancied rivals – no question about that.
All other games in the series (see match details below) will be live streamed on rugby.com.au and Facebook.
More information on the teams and forthcoming matches will be published shortly. So stay tuned.
Meanwhile, here is a highlights package from last year’s big dance.

SHADOW SQUAD
The Australian Schools selectors have also selected a shadow squad to cover the positions of any players injured in the Australian Schoolboys Team or the Australian Schools Barbarians.
The players in this Shadow Squad have been notified and urged to keep themselves fit once their school games have concluded.
They could be called on for any injuries from now on, or to players during the games of the Tri Nations Series.
