Live stream: Catch all the action from the Pacific Youth Rugby Festival from October 18 to 20

A record number of teams and players are ready to take the Pacific Youth Rugby Festival fields by storm. Find out how you can watch nearly 150 games LIVE and EXCLUSIVE.

The Pacific Youth Rugby Festival will make a triumphant, record-breaking return to the rugby fields of Brisbane in October.

Could it be the year of the Springbok or will the Queensland Kiwis young guns take inspiration from a Bledisloe and Olympic Rugby 7s triumph?

Don’t forget about the AU Superstars as well who will be chasing back-to-back titles in the Under-18 boys division after they upstaged tournament heavyweights Queensland Fiji last year.

NEWCOMERS READY FOR PACIFIC YOUTH RUGBY FESTIVAL CHALLENGE

Then there are the newcomers Queensland Indigenous Pasifika who will have teams in both the Under-16 and Under-18 girls competitions.

For the third-straight year, KommunityTV will exclusively live stream every match from the Pacific Youth Rugby Championships.

The action kicks off on October 18.

This year’s event is set to be a record-breaking one with an almost 50 per cent growth in teams on 2023.

With well over 1000 junior players from across 60 different teams to take the field, from Under-10s through to Under-18s, chances are there are more than a couple of future Wallabies, Wallaroos, All Blacks and Black Ferns set to take the field.

It’s a big weekend for boys and girls alike.

But PYRF organiser Kristin Dunn said it was about much more than just the performances on field.

“We are thrilled to see the Pacific Youth Rugby Festival grow each year, not just in numbers, but in the diversity and talent of our participants,” Dunn said.

“This event is more than just a rugby tournament; it’s a celebration of the rich cultural tapestry that defines our community. We have teams representing a wide range of backgrounds, including New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, and South Africa.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity for these young players, many of whom are first or second-generation Australians, to connect with their heritage through the sport they love.”

KommunityTV’s coverage of the PYRF will include nearly 150 matches across a big three days of action at Albany Creek Rugby Fields, with all five fields covered across the weekend.

The coverage concludes with the grand final match-ups across each division on Sunday.

The race to the girls Under-16 and Under-18 titles appears to be wide open with reigning champions Marist Ryze opting against chasing the gold again in 2024.

It won’t weaken the competition in the girls ranks at all with Queensland Fiji, AU Superstars, Queensland Kiwis, Queensland Barbarians and Queensland Indigenous Pasifika all registering teams in both age groups.
