Up and coming U15s rugby players have been selected in the initial North and South regional squads this week to commence training for the 2012 State Championships to be held on April 10, 11 and 13 at McGillivray Oval.

62 players across the metropolitan area have been chosen to take part in the training sessions with the best 22 players in the regions to be selected based on their performances to compete in the State Championships.

The State Championships as well as club and school games will be viewed by the State 15s selection committee with a squad chosen to represent Western Australia at the NSW Regional Championships in July.

Thanks Mate very proud however it was't easy for him to get in this year, the competition was very strong and the standard of the rugby that was played was equivalent to competition finals rugby.

One thing I can say is that the talent is out there we just need to develop it into the professional game
