The competition's two undefeated teams will go head-to-head on Thursday night when TRAC take on Kildare Catholic College at Conolly Rugby Complex.
TRAC have accounted for Wagga High School, Kooringal High School and Wagga Christian College to date, but meet competition favourites, Kildare, in round four.
To make things tougher, TRAC will be without front rowers Angus Randall and Lachie Payne, as well as fly half Harry Hayes.
"I reckon they're obviously the benchmark. It's going to be nice and muggy for the boys to run around in but we're looking forward to a good test," TRAC coach Luke Richardson said.
"We've got a few out of our side this week, mainly our forwards, so I'll need a few more of our big boys to step up a little bit, or a few more of our fringe players to feel those holes.
"From what I've seen, they're pretty solid in the forwards and tight in the backs so we'll probably need to step up there."
Richardson said it will be a good opportunity particularly for some of the school's Australian rules players to get more game time.
"One thing I love with the timing of the comp is we've got a few AFL boys if it was last term or the term before they probably wouldn't have played so they've been enjoying getting some game time and learning the sport," he said.
TRAC take on Kildare in the second game at 6pm.
Christian College face Mater Dei Catholic College at 4.30pm, while Kooringal High and Wagga High close the round out at 7.30pm.
