As described by NSWCRU president Barry Ruddy, after Western Plains was handed hosting rights for the first time and the expected debut of the Northern Bushrangers – a Central North and New England hybrid side – was announced.
The Bushrangers are set to contest the second-tier Richardson Shield against Far North Coast, Central Coast and the hosts at Warren, the two northern zones combining after both signaled they’d be unable to enter individual teams.
“It’s been incredibly heartening to see so many people interested … I actually think they’ll be really competitive,” Ruddy said. “I’m really looking forward to Warren too, this will mean that every zone has had its chance to host the country championships. Mr Ruddy believes it will be “quite special” as teams will camp in the same place.
“I know the people of Warren are absolutely champing at the bit for it, the council out there has been amazing and I think we’re looking at a cracking set of championships.”
