NSW Rugby have selected their U18 Gen Blue squad ahead of fixtures against the Brumbies and Reds Academies. The new rugby pathways are already proving their worth for our club rugby players with FOUR players from the NSW Juniors pathway making it through to the final squad - and another in the Shadow list.

Liam Dalibozek progressed through from NSW Country Juniors, while AJ Afamiliona, Dietrich Roache and James Du Preez all represented through the Sydney U18 team. Ben Pollack was another from Sydney Juniors whom has been named in the shadow list and has since been called up into the main squad. Congratulations to all these lads on a wonderful achievement.

The squad will now undertake a training program at NSW Rugby’s Daceyville HQ throughout September under the watchful eye of Pathways Program Coordinator, Matt Evrard and Head of Talent Management, Andrew Cleverley.

Selections for the squads have been made across the NSW Rugby pathways, with players selected from a range of competitions representing both club and school.
