Around 20 young Easts players will be venturing over the border to take on the might of the Weebolla Bulls, with family and friends coming along to experience the best of NSW country rugby and the Moree Plains. For many, it's the first time beyond Toowoomba.
After the game, the Easts Tigers will be staying on to enjoy the first grade clash between the Moree Weebolla Bulls and Quirindi Lions and catch up with their new NSW mates.

Easts Tigers team manager Joey Greer is Moree born and bred but now calls Brisbane home.
The call of the black soil plains is strong for Joey as he continues to bring his family west to support and share the community spirit so commonplace in the Moree Plains.
His children, including Sam who will be playing second row on Saturday, ride for Garah-Boomi Pony Club under the watchful eye of his aunt Sandra Downes.
Joey is looking forward to sharing the Moree hospitality with Sam's city team mates - it's a wonderful opportunity to bring some visitors to the Shire in these tough economic times and encourage participation in rugby and all sports.
The city versus country clash between the Moree under-12s and the Easts Tigers will kick off at 2.30pm at Weebolla Oval, with first grade to follow straight after.
