Buildcorp Emerging Reds Cup U16s Squad Announcement

The Buildcorp Emerging Reds Cup will return for its third year of competition this September, with the revamped Ballymore Stadium set to play host to the tournament for the first time.

Brisbane Grey, Brisbane White, South-East Queensland and Queensland Country U16s teams were announced today, with U15s teams set to be named next week.

The tournament is the first official step in the Queensland Rugby pathway, with Queensland U15 and U16s teams selected following the three days of competition.

The U16s will compete in the National U16s and U19s Championships in October, while the U15s will take on their New South Wales counterparts in home and away fixtures.

Squads were chosen after club and school Rugby, as well as an internal trial at Ballymore last weekend featuring the best players from around the state.
