A blistering first-half performance lifted the Junior Kangaroos to a convincing 46-22 win over the Junior Kiwis at Canberra’s GIO Stadium to make it three-straight victories in the mid-year Test. 

‌The Aussies raced out to a 30-0 lead at the break and looked set to go on with the job courtesy of back-to-back tries to start the second stanza, but New Zealand showed plenty of spirit to ensure they avoided a record defeat. 

 Cameron Murray – We profile the man who led the NSW Under-18 side to glory in 2016: 

With a standout performance for the NSW Under-18 side last year, it’s little wonder that the South Sydney Rabbitohs have moved quickly to secure the future of Cameron Murray.

The Mascot Jets junior, who has played in the second row for the Rabbitohs’ Harold Matthews, SG Ball and Holden Cup outfits, has turned plenty of heads in his years in the NSWRL Pathways system so far. Murray captained the South Sydney under-16s side in 2014, before helping the under-18s to a grand final in 2015, also representing his state in his respective age group each year. Having also captained the Newington College 1st XV in Rugby Union in 2015, Murray is talented in both codes, but that year signed a contract with the Rabbitohs which will see him through until the end of 2019.

Cameron debuted for South Sydney on Friday 21 April 2017 against the Brisbane Broncos.

We wish Cameron all the best of luck for the rest of the season.
