The year 1970 marked an important time in Tertiary Rugby
League around the world. In Australia it saw the formation of the NSW
Tertiary Student Rugby League, the first club based Tertiary competition in the
world, whilst in the United Kingdom,
it saw Rugby League finally break into CambridgeUniversity.
In those 38 years, both have contributed significantly to
the growth and development of the tertiary level of Rugby League, breaking down
many traditional barriers, whilst also providing countless players to the
higher levels of our great game.
On July 21, these two groups will finally when the CambridgeUniversity
tours Australia,
and takes on a NSW Tertiary XIII at Western Weekender Stadium.
The NSW Tertiary XIII will be made up of only active
University and Tertiary students that participate within the NSW Tertiary
League competition.
Players will be selected based upon nominations made from
their club coaching committee at a special meeting which will be held on June
23.
Applications for coaches, managers and trainers are now
open. All interested individuals should
