Rugby Australia's U18 academy fixtures will head back to Melbourne today, when the hosts will be looking for their first win of the series, against a powerful Western Australian outfit.
The third match in the 2019 U18s Academy series will see aspiring Wallabies take to Brimbank Rugby Club, where the Rebels last went down to 46-14 against a strong Queensland side, while the boys from WA will look for their second win after a spectacular performance against NSWJRU last weekend saw them winning 41-25.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 7.30pm (AEST) at Brimbank Rugby Club and will be broadcast LIVE and FREE on RUGBY.com.au
