Australian Schools named to face NZ Schools
10/4/2012
By ARU Media Unit
The Australian Schools side to face New Zealand Schools in Auckland has been named, with just two changes made to the side that defeated Samoan Schools 80-7 in Hamilton on Tuesday.
Aaron Please returns to loosehead in place of Tomas Robertson, while Mitchell Whiteley returns from injury to replace Lolo Fakaosilea at Number 8. Whiteley has also been named captain.
Having won two of their four matches so far, the Australian Schools side will look to end its tour on a high when they face New Zealand Schools at Auckland Grammar on Saturday 6 October.
The Australian Schools vs New Zealand Schools match will be broadcast live on Fox Sports 3HD & 3 at 12:45pm (AEST).
