Promises, promises - have to be kept.
It will be the Tahs media unit that will give the info.
No promises made here, but no inside information either. It is easier trying to get an honest answer from a politician that it has been to get a list from the usual snouts.
In the absence of any confirmation, here is my version of the suggested NSW team list (which is probably about as accurate as my footytips have been ).

Matt SANDELL, University
Fa'aope SATUI, West Harbour
Vunipola FIFITA, Randwick

Regardless of who is in the final NSW squad when it is published, some very talented athletes will miss out. History tells us that one or two of them will get the injury cover call up.
I don't have any inside information on the Queensland squad, but their talent pool is very deep in this age group, and many of them have NRC and Brisbane First Grade Premier Rugby experience, and some of their graduates of 2014 are first class players with a bright future in front of them.
The Queenslanders should be fearsome competition at National Championships and the player quality in the three Oz squads should make Adrian Thompson very happy, as well as posing him many challenges to narrow the list of candidates down to the required number for the final Squad for Italy.
Is anyone brave enough to have a go at listing their final Qld U20 squad?
Here was the (modified) Team sheet from a recent trial match they had (Thanks to @ HG Nelson)
