The Wellington Under 19 representative squad has been named to defend the national title they won last year. Hooker Joe Walding-Karaitiana and loose forward Michael Findlay have been selected after strong seasons for the club.
The squad will have three warm-up games in August, before taking part in three Hurricanes’ regional games against Hawke’s Bay, Manawatu and a Hurricanes Barbarians side, to determine the rankings for the Jock Hobbs Memorial National Under-19 Tournament.
