MEDIA RELEASE – 18/01/2008
Universities Rugby League Queensland (URLQ) would like to advise that applications are now open for the 2008 Queensland Universities Rugby League team, and is inviting any current Rugby League players attending University, TAFE or a recognised Tertiary institute, to register.
The Queensland Team is scheduled to resume their Interstate rivalry against a NSW Students side at WIN Stadium, Wollongong on Friday May 2. The match will be the curtain raiser for the annual NSWRL City-Country clash, with the current WIN Stadium attendance record of 19,512 set to be smashed ahead of Wollongong’s first City-Country fixture in twelve years.
From that interstate clash, an Australian Students side will be selected to compete in the 2008 Universities Rugby League World Cup, which will be played in Brisbane from July 4 – 16.
Having won 2007’s Interstate fixture in Brisbane 31 - 20, competition for positions in the 2008 Queensland’s Universities Team is tipped to be fierce. Maroon’s players commanded 12 of the 21 player selections in the 2007 Australian Universities squad, and the Queenslander’s will be again primed to dominate selections, given that this year’s Student’s World Cup will be played in their home state.
To be eligible for the QLD side, players must be completing full-time tertiary education within any Queensland University, TAFE or recognised College or Tertiary institution.
