Congratulations to Suzuki Easts Tigers Ryan Cameron and Chris Ostwald on their selection in the Australian Universities team to play in the Universitity World Cup.

The 20-year old Cameron, an Easts Junior, is a regular with the Tigers Colts and BRL sides, whilst the 22-year old Ostwald has enjoyed another good season and is a regular member of the Club’s Intrust Cup Squad.

As both players play hooker, the Tigers have good depth in the number 9 roles.
