The ACT is celebrating after three ACT Schoolboys were chosen to represent Australia at the conclusion of last week’s national championships at Riverview.
Neori Nadruku and Andrew Robinson were selected in the top side while fullback Montana O’Neill will play for Australia A.
The ACT Schoolboys went down in their first two games against QLD II and NSW I before claiming two, rewarding victories against Victoria and Western Australia to finish the competition fifth overall.
Robinson represented both Australia A and Australia at schoolboys level in 2011, while for Nadruku, the son of former rugby league international Noa, and O’Neill it will be their first taste of international rugby.
