The NSW Waratahs U15s have named their squad for the second and final match of their two-game series against the Queensland Reds, following a thrilling 38–37 win in Game One.
It was an exciting contest between two evenly matched sides, with the young Waratahs showing great composure and determination to hold off a late Reds surge. The focus now turns to backing up that performance and continuing to build on the progress made throughout the campaign.
The players will take plenty of confidence into Game Two, having shown they can handle the pressure and find ways to perform in key moments. The match will again provide a valuable opportunity for the squad to develop within the Waratahs Academy pathway and test themselves against quality opposition in Queensland.
