NSW Dominates Australian Schoolboys Squad
The Australian Schoolboys team serves as a prestigious platform where the most talented young rugby league players demonstrate their skills.
According to zerotackle.com, the recently announced 2025 Australian U18 Schoolboys squad highlights a significant predominance of players from New South Wales (NSW), contrasting sharply with the representation from Queensland.
In this year's lineup, an impressive 13 players hail from NSW, while only five come from Queensland.
This level of dominance by a single state on the squad list is unusual, marking a significant achievement for junior rugby league in NSW.
