The stage is set for a showdown of epic proportions as the NSW Origin U19s teams have been named to take on Queensland at Leichhardt Oval on Thursday 20 June.
The NSWRL is thrilled to unveil the line-ups for the CABE NSW Under 19s Men and Westpac NSW Under 19s Women, highlighting the cream of the crop in Rugby League talent.
In a clash that promises to be nothing short of a spectacle, the women's game will kick off at 5:45pm followed by the men's match at 7:45pm.
Fans can catch all the action on Fox League, Fox Sports, 9Now, 9Gem, and Channel Nine for those eager to witness the rising stars in action.
The CABE Under 19s Men's squad is a formidable mix of players from the UNE SG Ball Cup and SLE Laurie Daley Cup, featuring young guns such as Canberra Raiders' fullback Chevy Stewart and Penrith Panthers' winger Jesse McLean.
Stewart, just 18, has already notched up three appearances for the Green Machine this season, showcasing his speed and skill on the field.
Meanwhile, McLean, 19, made a memorable NRL debut last year and continues to impress with his attacking prowess in the The Knock-On Effect NSW Cup.
Adding to the roster is the dynamic Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs halfback, Mitchell Woods, whose leadership abilities were on full display when he led the UNE Harold Matthews Cup to victory in 2023.
With standout performances in the UNE SG Ball Cup, Woods is a force to be reckoned with.
And let's not forget about hooker Matthew Arthur, following in the footsteps of his NRL coach father, Brad Arthur, as he gears up to take the field and make his mark.
The stage is set, the players are primed, and the anticipation is palpable as these young guns prepare to showcase their skills and make their mark in what promises to be an electrifying clash against Queensland.
