Tuesday, 9 February 2010

Queensland Premier XV selectors have named their squad for Saturday night’s match against a QAS Reds 2nd XVat Suncorp (kickoff 4:25pm), the curtain raiser for the Investec Bank Super 14 season opener between Queensland and NSW. 

The 23-man squad has 16 new faces from the Australian Barbarians squad that was convincingly beaten 59-7 by the Reds 2nd XV last week.

2008 Premier Rugby champions Easts are well represented with five players, while reigning premiers Brothers and the Gold Coast Breakers each supply four.

Easts coach Pat Richards will coach the side alongside University’s Paul Healy.

All players are required at training on Wednesday, February 10 at 6:00pm and on Friday, February 12 at 6:30pm.

The Reds 2nd XV side will be selected later this week, once the QR Reds team to play the Waratahs has been named.
