This is my understanding of the U18 Rep Pathway going forward
All Associations - School (GPS, CAS, ISA, CCC, CHS, AICES) & Club (CRU & SJRU) have now competed in trial games and from here THREE x NSW teams will be selected in 2024.
These three teams (NSW Schools I & II and NSW Juniors) will contest at the ASRU tournament next week on Tues 2nd, Wed 3rd and Fri 5th July in QLD.
School Teams playing at ASRU in QLD are
-NSW 1
-NSW 2
-NSW Juniors (club only)
-QLD Maroon
-QLD White
-Victoria
-ACT
-Combined States
Players in the Waratahs Academy teams are able to participate at these ASRU Championships – if they are NOT in the PONI (Player of National Interest) squad.
The Waratahs Academy teams will be re-selected at the conclusion of all competitions and these teams will play QLD Academy teams at the end of Term 3.
Nationally
A 2nd PONI squad will be announced on 12th July (the 1st squad was announced on 29th March).
A 3rd and final PONI squad will be announced on 8th September.
The PONI squad will assemble for a National Camp on 22nd September.
A combined Australian Schools & U18 side will be selected to play NZ.
Also, there is a NSW game played each year for the 'Michael Brial Cup' between Sydney & Country (clubs only) on Sunday 28th July.
