In July 2017, England Universities will take part in the Student Rugby League World Cup which takes place in Sydney, Australia.
The team is made up of the best student Rugby League players in the country and participation in the squad is self-funded. Each player and member of the volunteer coaching and management team is responsible for raising money for themselves to cover UK-based training and friendly games, kit and equipment, flights, accommodation, travel, insurance and tournament participation fees.
The whole squad will be working hard to fundraise the £110k needed for the trip through selling sponsorship, Community Game Raffle Tickets and staging events, but all donations will go a long way to reducing the cost of taking part in the tournament for the players.
England Universities Head Coach, Colin Baker, said: "Please give generously and play your part in sending England Universities Rugby League Team to the Student Rugby League World Cup in 2017!
"The student game has been a rich source of players for both the professional and regonal leagues and is one of the major recruitment areas into our game.
"Anyone who witnessed the Student Rugby League World Cup in 2013 will know the quality of the competition and the importance of helping our England team as prepared as it can be!"
Final Scores were: Yorkshire 24 North East 6 Midlands 36 North West 10 South West 52 South East 16

The final 20-man squads for the University Rugby League Origin game have been confirmed. The second annual #UniOriginRL match between The North and The South will take place on Saturday 28th January, 7pm kick off at Loughborough University.
The South are made up of students from universities from the South West, Midlands and London and will be taking on The North squad, which is selected from students studying in the North West, Yorkshire and Cumbria.
Last year's Origin clash saw The North come out on top with an impressive 44-28 win. This year's South squad, which features an impressive ten representatives from the University of Gloucestershire, will be looking to make it '1-1' in the second edition of Origin.
The stand-out players from the upcoming match will be in line for selection for the England Students squad which will play at this summer's Student World Cup in Sydney, Australia.
Participation in the squad is self-funded and each player and member of the volunteer coaching and management team is responsible for raising money for themselves to cover UK-based training and friendly games, kit and equipment, flights, accommodation, travel, insurance and tournament participation fees.
The whole squad will be working hard to fundraise the £110k needed for the trip through selling sponsorship, Community Game Raffle Tickets and staging events, but all donations will go a long way to reducing the cost of taking part in the tournament for the players.

The North 28-16 The South In the second-ever University Origin Rugby League game, the North again came out on top, running out 28-16 winners over the South.
After The North stormed into an early 22-0 lead, the South came back into the game well, scoring the next three tries, including two from winger Elliot Hall, to get within six points. However, The North held on for the victory, scoring the final try of the game with 10 minutes remaining.
The North opened the scoring within a minute of kick off. When the opening kick was dropped, North had the position for prop forward Aaron Hall to slice through to the left of the posts.
Sam Druce’s conversion made the score 6-0. It was quickly 12-0 to the side from the North.
Centre Zack McComb found the ball out on the left and his pace took him to the line. Druce once again was on target from the narrow angle.
North were again next to score when a flowing move out on the right found the other North centre Sam Swire, who had the easy task of planting the ball over the line. Druce was this time off target with his conversion attempt.
The North extended their lead out to 22 when a kick from dummy half wasn’t dealt with by the Southern defence and was grounded by forward Dom Bryan. Druce converted his third kick of the game.
South were to have the final say of the half. Another deft kick found its way to the in goal where Brad Kislingbury was lurking to pounce and dot the ball down. Ben Stead converted from the right to leave the half-time score at 22-6
The comeback was to continue in the second half for the South through Elliot Hall. The winger caught the ball out on the left and slipped through the North’s wide defence to score. Stead was off target with the kick leaving the South 12 behind.
The lead was cut to six as Hall was the Southern try scorer once again. This time the winger was found on the left and he stepped inside to dive over for the try. Stead’s conversion was on target from a narrow angle.
North however sealed the win with time running out. Kieran Smith dummied close to the line and forced his way over to plant the ball down. Smith rounded off the game by converting his own try and make the final score 28-16.

England's 33-man train-on squad for the 2017 Student Rugby League World Cup in Australia has been announced.
Students from all over the country have been selected in the initial team, including an impressive six representatives from the University of Gloucestershire, the only south west university represented in the squad.
Leeds Beckett, one of four Yorkshire-based universities represented in the squad, boast four members, while four midlands-based universities, five from the north west, two north east universities and one London-based university, St Mary's, all boast members.
The squad was selected following the 2017 University Origin match and they will train together for the first time on Saturday, March 11, when the squad will be cut to 30 players for the preparation phase of the programme, which includes five games, before again being cut to 24 players in May - the final 24 will travel to the Student World Cup in Australia in July.
Head Coach Colin Baker said: "We are delighted with the players' performance throughout the programme of regional games and the origin game so far, and are looking forward to bringing the players into the England environment for the first time this year.
"We will be taking into consideration players' on-field performances as well as their contribution off the field in all of the sessions so far as we build towards our trip to Australia.
"I'd like to congratulate all the players on their selection at this point, but remind them all that they have to continue to work hard to give themselves the best opportunity for further selection."
Baker added: "Players and staff are responsible for fundraising for the cost of the programme and your support will be very much appreciated."

Competition for places ahead of the 2017 Student World Cup is hotting up...
England Universities have announced their 30-man squad which will train and prepare in the UK with a series of games, before the squad is reduced to a final 24 who will travel to the Student World Cup in Australia in July.
The squad, who will fund the tour themselves, have set a target of £100k to help cover costs, with £20k already raised.
Player sponsorships are now being sold at £150 per player, with all player sponsors being entered into a draw to win a place on the team's shirt. Contact davidbutler1980@hotmail.com or adam.hughes@rfl.co.uk for further details.
Following a final selection and training session on Saturday, March 11, the 30 players will next meet in April for a two-day camp which culminates in the annual fixture between the student side and the Royal Air Force.
With the Associations Cup on a break for World Cup year, the students will then face a tough test against St Helens Reserves before back-to-back fixtures with the Great Britain Armed Forces, who are also preparing for their own world cup campaign in Australia.
Preparation then concludes with a weekend camp in North Yorkshire, which will involve a fixture against Keighley Cougars Reserves.
Head Coach Colin Baker said: "We've watched all of the selection games through the Regional and Origin programmes and it has been a challenge to pick 30 players from the thousands who play University Rugby League each week and I'd like to thank everyone who has been involved in selection up to this point for their efforts.
He added: "Nonetheless, we are confident that we have the right mix of players across all positions who will work hard to show us why they deserve a place on the plane to Australia.
"There is good competition for places and a strong work ethic.
"Over the coming months, I am looking forward to working with all of the players to turn them into a tight knit, cohesive team."
As in previous years, the squad has been selected from a diverse list of Universities, with players picked on merit.
Twenty members of the squad have already gained England experience during the 2015 or 2016 programmes and many of the players are regulars across the Kingstone Press Championship and League 1.
