Some of the great action from the 51st Australian schools rugby tournament.

The 51st Australian school boys rugby championships has been done and won for 2025.

The event is one of the most famous junior rugby events in Australian and run annually.

It is also a spectacular showcase of the east young talent coming through the ranks.

And in some cases, these young players could well be around for the next time the Wallabies take on the British Lions in a tour.

More immediately the top players are hoping they have done enough to impress selectors with two big teams to be named shortly.

The Australian U18s team and the 2025 Australian schools exam will play each other and others in a series of matches later this year.

Both are seen as important launching pads for players keen to play rugby professionally.
