The best young talent the ACT has to offer will be in action this Saturday 24 October as the Brumbies U19 take on the Australian Defence Force Barbarians at Portsea Oval, RMC.
In a normal season, the U19’s program would be taking centre stage over this period following the success of the previous two U19 National Championships which have been held in Canberra, but due to COVID the tournament will not go ahead.
The Gala day serves as a chance for players to push their case for selection in the National Player of Interest group for the 2021 Junior Wallabies Programme.
