The NSWRL is pleased to announce the NSWRL Pioneers team to face the XXXX Queensland Rangers in a representative fixture at Davies Park, Brisbane, on Sunday 30 June.
The 18-man squad is made up of players from the Ron Massey Cup and the Newcastle Rebels and will be coached by Rebels coach Matt Lantry.
The team was selected after the Newcastle Rebels beat a Ron Massey Cup team in a representative match at Maitland Sports Ground in May.
The Pioneers will be looking to turn the tables on the Rangers after they were beaten 46-16 in the corresponding match last season.
The team will train at the NSWRL Centre of Excellence on Thursday and Friday, 27-28, June before leaving Sydney for Sunday's game.
