The Australian Schoolboys will get extra preparation before their trip to Papua New Guinea this week for their tour match and will face off against France at Burleigh.
Both the Australian Schoolboys and Australian Schoolgirls teams have assembled on the Gold Coast this week in preparation for their matches against the junior Papua New Guinea sides on Sunday, with the boys team to get an extra hit-out against the Under 19 France side who have been on tour in Australia.
The Roosters NRL side and in particular, coach Trent Robinson have played a big hand in getting the French squad over to Australia and they played a match against a Roosters academy team this week.
The match will be played at 3pm AEST (Queensland time) at UAA Park, the home of the Burleigh Bears and will be livestreamed on NRL.com and the NRL Pathways YouTube channel.
