Touch Black Selections
The Touch NZ Selectors have been assessing the top national players for the last 4 days and are pleased to announce the following selected players in the initial Touch Black teams. There has been 30 selected in each grade of Men, Womens and Mixed and over the next week a final squad of 14 in each team will be named as the Touch Blacks for the Australian Tour in April 2009. The remaining selected players will return to a camp on Labour Weekend where they will be eligible again for selection for the next Trans Tasman to be held here in NZ early in 2010.
Congratulations to all the players selected. We will be proud to have you represent our country.
