Australian Schools squads finalised ahead of Tri Nations
The Australian Schools and the Australian Barbarians squads have been finalised ahead of the upcoming Tri Nations tournament against New Zealand and Samoa in Brisbane.
Nudgee College flyhalf Liam Moseley has been ruled out of the tournament with a knee injury and has been replaced by Southport’s Tyler Campbell in the Australian side, whilst NRL recruit Tom Wright will also miss the tournament through injury.
Victorian Josh Coward and Perth Spirit superboot Nick Jooste (SEE MORE) have been added to the Barbarians squad, as have James Hawkins from Scots and Tony Hunt from Nudgee.
Rugby News understands several players need scans after both squads underwent medicals over the weekend, however the majority are only precautionary.
Both squads go into camp next Thursday ahead of matches against New Zealand and Samoan Schools on the 28th September and the 2nd of October in Brisbane.
