Hudson Young has chance to join Australian squad in exhibition match turned trial game.
Hudson Young has one game to force his way into the Australian squad after a grand final hero withdrew from the end-of-season games and turned the Prime Minister's XIII into a genuine trial match if he gets the chane to play.
Young and the rest of the men's PM's XIII squad are gathering in Brisbane on Wednesday to start training ahead of a clash against Papua New Guinea in Port Moresby on Sunday.
But what is generally an exhibition match and a small taste of the representative arena is set to transform into an opportunity for Canberra Raiders back-rower Young.
