Australia's Under-18 rugby union squad features dual-code athletes, including emerging talents and former NRL prospects.
The Under-18s Australian rugby union squad has been named, headlined by several dual-code athletes who are also involved in various pathways systems across the NRL.
Over the years, the Under-18s Australian rugby union squad has included several players who have gone on to make a name for themselves in rugby league, including Joseph Suaalii and, most recently, young guns Heamasi Makasini and Joey Walsh.
Former NRL prospects Heinz Lemoto (Penrith Panthers) and TJ Talaileva (Newcastle Knights) have also been selected but have decided to fully focus on the 15-man code over the last 12 months.
Meanwhile, the Australian Schoolboys squad includes Canberra Raiders centre Denzel Veikune, Sydney Roosters back-rower James Finegan and Ipswich Jets front-rower Lane Edmonds.
