The teams for the inaugural U16 Buildcorp Emerging Reds Cup (ERC) competition have been confirmed following trials at Ballymore over the weekend.

Brisbane White, Brisbane Grey, South-East and the Queensland Country U16s will compete over three days of action at Bulimba’s Riverside Junior Rugby Club in September, with an U16s competition added after last year’s successful U15s ERC.

Queensland Rugby Head of Talent Management Paul Carozza said: “It’s exciting to have U16s included in the ERC this season.

“We saw some great talent in last year’s competition, and we expect more of the same in both the U15 and U16s age groups in 2022.

“Congratulations to all those selected.”

The Brisbane and South-East Queensland teams were chosen following trials at Ballymore, with the best U16s players from around the state picked to trial.

The Queensland Country U16s side was selected following the Queensland Country Championships in Toowoomba.

The U15s teams will be announced next week.
