Undoubtedly one of the years highlights is this weekends feast of International Rugby league. Juniors, womens, countries from around the Pacific, plus England are in Sydney to play Samoa too. Throw in City v Country and it all adds up to a great weekend of Rugby league.
We kick off the weekend in Canberra with the New Zealand and Australian Juniors kicking it all of. That's followed up by the NZ and Australian ladies teams going head to head as a prelude to the nights big game, the Kangaroos v Kiwis.
Australia should start favourites in all 3 games, but the Kiwi sides will give it their all.
On Saturday we don't have 1 test match at Campbelltown, but 3. The day kicks off with the Cook Islands v Papua New Guinea, then it's Tonga v Fiji and to top off what should be a great night it's England v Samoa. The Pacific Island nations play an uncompromising style of play, but they love to throw the ball around and play an open and entertaining brand of footy. It really should be a fantastic day.
Finally on Sunday it's the annual City v Country game being played in, Mudgee.
Teams for the weekend posted later.
