The Australian Schoolboys team to take on New Zealand in September and October 2015 has been announced today with two young Wests Tigers juniors selected.

Balmain Tigers junior and U/18 NSW representative Ryan Papenhuyzen has been included in the side along with Western Suburbs Magpies junior Ray Stone, who also featured in the Australian Schoolboys' tour of England in late 2014.

The team will play a two-Test series against the Kiwis in Brisbane.

The team announcement follows the Australian Secondary Schools Rugby League (ASSRL) Under-18s Championships held this week at the Collegians Rugby League Club.

NRL General Manager League Integration and Game Development Andrew Hill said the ASSRL was a vital breeding ground for the game.

“It’s an honour to play for your country and I’m sure they will be wear the Australian jersey with pride, passion and integrity.”

As part of the NRL’s commitment to development, all players and team staff at the National Championships participated in education and welfare sessions.
