The regular season of the Super Rugby U16s and U19s is run and done with Queensland Reds ready to welcome NSW Waratahs and ACT Brumbies for Sunday's Grand Final.

The Reds finished second in both the U16s and U19s but will host the big dance despite the Waratahs (U16s) and Brumbies (U19s) taking out their respective minor premierships.

Catch every game of the Super Rugby U16s and U19s competition live, ad-free and exclusive on Stan Sport.

Nevertheless, Queensland are rank outsiders in the U16s decider after falling 50-20 to NSW in their last meeting.

Meanwhile, ACT enter the U19s grand final fresh from a Round 5 Bye and eager to avenge their shock 53-12 loss to Queensland back in Round 2.
