AUCKLAND RUGBY LEAGUE
Auckland Vulcans v NSW Country previews and team lists
For immediate release
Thirty four young Auckland players will get a fantastic opportunity to represent their region this afternoon, when the Auckland Vulcans play NSW Country in a representative double-header.
The day at Otahuhu’s Bert Henham Park will start with the Vulcans U/16’s taking on the Country U/16’s at 3.00pm.
That’s followed by the feature game between the Vulcans U/18’s and Country U/18’s, which kicks off at 4.15pm.
The games are the conclusion of Country’s New Zealand tour, which included games against the Otahuhu Leopards last Sunday.
The visitors proved too strong on both occasions, with the 16’s winning a thriller 18-17 and the 18’s producing a classy showing to come out on top 42-18.
If you can’t make it to the games Auckland Rugby League will be livestreaming both free via their website, www.aucklandleague.co.nz.
Join the discussion around the game by using #AucklandvCountry on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Players to watch
Prop and co-captain Soane Hufuanga is a key guy for the Vulcans U/16’s squad. Playing against boys
older than him Hufuanga has stood out in the SAS College Rugby League competition for St Paul’s
College, crossing for a double against national champions Kelston a fortnight ago.
For the U/18’s captain Isaac Ah Kuoi-Atmore is already playing for his Richmond club’s top side, and
standing out as one of their best in 2015. A clever dummy-half with speed and good vision, Ah Kuoi-
Atmore will be an important part of the Vulcans’ attack in the middle of the park.
