PREVIEW

The best rugby teams in southeast Queensland and northern NSW will be crowned when the King of the Country takes over the Gold Coast Eagles rugby fields.

Each division will feature regional competition winners from the Darling Downs, Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and Far North Coast (NSW) competitions.

Tournament hosts, the Gold Coast Eagles, have also earned wildcard entry into both age groups.

Eagles president Grant Steffek said the club enjoys hosting the tournament and being part of growing the sport in regional areas.

“The original objective of the tournament still applies... bring highly engaged champion teams from regional areas together to play some tough rugby.

“Regional areas often have 1-2 teams that dominate in their playing grade and this tournament gives those teams an opportunity to be tested, plus the Gold Coast is a great spot to come for a mini-tour and holiday as a team,” Steffek said.

Importantly for the club, the King Of The Country tournament also generates revenue to fund junior and youth programmes throughout the season.

Toowoomba Bears are back for another tilt.

This year marks a key growth for the competition as it reaches further than ever before.

“We decided to extend the reach of the tournament this year into Mid North Coast NSW to complement existing regions of Sunshine Coast, Downs, Gold Coast and the Far Noth Coast,” Steffek said.

“Despite financial and logistical challenges, there is strong interest in the tournament with some teams contacting us last October to express interest.

“Live streaming is becoming part of what tournaments do... Kommunity TV has been with our club for 4 years now and helps connect the tournament and the people within communities from the regions that cannot travel.

“Our club is always looking to create a great rugby experience and KTV helps us achieve that.

Coffs Harbour Snappers, who will compete for the Under-16 King of the Country crown, will travel the furthest for the tournament after taking out the FNC Rugby title last year.

They will be joined by fellow FNC rugby counterparts Casuarina, who will compete in the Under-14s.

The Noosa Dolphins will travel down to take on the Snappers in the Under-16s while the boys from the Toowoomba Bears will enter the Under-14s fray.

Gold Coast champions Bond University (Under-16) and Helensvale Hogs (Under-14s) round out the competition, with the Hogs aiming for back-to-back Under-14s titles after their dominant 32-7 win over a combined Far North Coast side last year.
