Send England to the 2017 Student World Cup in Australia!

The final 20-man squads for the University Rugby League Origin game have been confirmed. The second annual #UniOriginRL match between The North and The South will take place on Saturday 28th January, 7pm kick off at Loughborough University.

The South are made up of students from universities from the South West, Midlands and London and will be taking on
The North squad, which is selected from students studying in the North West, Yorkshire and Cumbria.

Last year's Origin clash saw The North come out on top with an impressive 44-28 win. This year's South squad, which features an impressive ten representatives from the University of Gloucestershire, will be looking to make it '1-1' in the second edition of Origin.

The stand-out players from the upcoming match will be in line for selection for the England Students squad which will play at this summer's Student World Cup in Sydney, Australia.

Participation in the squad is self-funded and each player and member of the volunteer coaching and management team is responsible for raising money for themselves to cover UK-based training and friendly games, kit and equipment, flights, accommodation, travel, insurance and tournament participation fees.

The whole squad will be working hard to fundraise the £110k needed for the trip through selling sponsorship, Community Game Raffle Tickets and staging events, but all donations will go a long way to reducing the cost of taking part in the tournament for the players.
