FOUR bumper squads have been named to play the two curtain-raisers before the Super Rugby trial on January 31.

With the increased exposure playing before the trial between ACT Brumbies and Otago Highlanders at Equex, four high class teams have been assembled.

After 82 nominations for the two men's teams were received, 15 clubs will be represented.

Ag College leads the way with nine players selected in the SIRU City Rams team.

The Richard Skellern-coached team will face seven from premier Griffith in the SIRU Country Redbacks team.

The Redbacks have already looked in their training dates with the team to have to runs at Temora on January 16 and 29.

After a slow start the City women's team has swiftly kicked into gear, with coach Marty Hogan holding his initial training run over the weekend.

They will face tough opposition in the Country women's team which will train at Leeton on January 21 and January 28.
