The excitement and athleticism of the International Nines returns to Sydney this Saturday – and the official draw has just been released.
This year’s International Nines, usually staged at Cabramatta, will be at St Marys Leagues Stadium and feature 30 teams from right across around the rugby league world.
“There’ll be a great international flavour as always at this year’s Nines,” NSWRL Head of Competitions Yvette Downey said.
“Teams are participating from the Philippines, American Samoa, Fiji and the Cook Islands to name a few. Then there are local teams including Sydney Shield winners East Campbelltown, Cabramatta and Guildford.
“It should be a great day out.”
The event is to be staged Saturday, 31st January at St Marys Leagues stadium. Kick-off is 9.30am.
