==History==
===Early years===
{{Unreferencedsect|date=April 2024}}
Established in 1972, the first Australian Schoolboys rugby league team featured players from [[New South Wales Rugby League|New South Wales]] and one Western Australian player. The team did not include any Queensland players as they did not send players to the trials. The team was initially in the Under-16s division, unlike today. Coached by future [[Western Suburbs Magpies]] Team of the 20th Century coach, [[Roy Masters (rugby league)|Roy Masters]], and featuring future internationals [[Ian Schubert]], [[Craig Young (rugby league)|Craig Young]], [[Les Boyd]], and [[Royce Ayliffe]], the side toured Great Britain, going undefeated on the tour and scoring 108 tries in their 11 games to their opponents' 1. This was the last Schoolboys team until 1978.
In 1978, the first official Australian Schoolboys Championships were held, but NSW Combined Catholic Colleges did not attend. For the first time, Queensland-based high school players trialed, and the first of four 'merit teams' was selected; merit teams do not tour or play games together.
The Schoolboys returned to touring with the 1979 team, featuring future [[Australia national rugby league team|Australian]] internationals [[Ben Elias]] and [[Andrew Farrar]]. The team toured France and England and went undefeated.
===1980s===
{{Unreferencedsect|date=April 2024}}
The first Schoolboys side of the 80's was selected in 1981, when the Schoolboys hosted the touring [Junior Kiwis] side from [[New Zealand Rugby League|New Zealand]]. They played two games, with the Schoolboys winning both. It was the first time the Schoolboys hosted a tour and played a New Zealand side.
In 1982, the Schoolboys toured New Zealand for the first time, where they also received their first ever loss against an [[Auckland]]-based selection team, 16–10. The team was captained by future Australian international [[Paul Langmack]] and featured another future international in [[Andrew Ettingshausen]]. Another merit team was selected in 1983 and once again featured Ettingshausen. Future internationals [[Greg Alexander]] and [[Paul Sironen]], and future first grade regulars, [[Tony Butterfield]] and [[Jeff Hardy (rugby league)|Jeff Hardy]], were also a part of the side.
In 1984, the Schoolboys hosted a tour by the British Upper Schools and Colleges (BUSCARLA), winning both matches. The 1984 Australian Schoolboys was also the first to feature a player who went on to represent a country other than Australia at international level. [[Theo Anast]] from [[Armidale High School]] later played six games for [[France national rugby league team|France]] between 1993 and 1994.
The team selected in 1985 went undefeated against a touring Junior Kiwis side and in 1986 went undefeated once again on their tour of England. The 1986 side featured future Australian internationals [[Bradley Clyde]] and [[Andrew Gee (rugby league)|Andrew Gee]]. In 1987, another merit side was selected, which featured Clyde for the second time.
In 1988, the side toured New Zealand and featured [[Tim Brasher]], [[David Fairleigh]] and a 16-year-old [[Brad Fittler]]. The team went undefeated. Fittler was named again in 1989, as the Schoolboys hosted the [[British Amateur Rugby League Association|British Amateur Rugby League under 19's]] (BARLA) for two games, winning both.
===1990s===
{{Unreferencedsect|date=April 2024}}
The 1990 Schoolboys side was originally a merit team, but played a one-off game against the Australian Youth Development Squad, which they won 38–6. The 1991 team, once again, went undefeated on their tour of England.
In 1992, with a side featuring future premiership winner and Australian international [[Steve Menzies]], the side toured New Zealand. On the tour, the Schoolboys lost their first ever Test match to a New Zealand side featuring future [[New Zealand national rugby league team|Kiwis]] [[Gene Ngamu]], [[Joe Vagana]] and [[Ruben Wiki]].
The 1993 Australian Schoolboys hosted BARLA and played two tests, winning both. Future [[New South Wales rugby league team|NSW State of Origin]] player and world champion boxer [[Anthony Mundine]] was in the team.
In 1994, the Schoolboys hosted, and defeated, the touring Junior Kiwis. This marked the first appearance of a then-15-year-old [[Owen Craigie]], who represented the Schoolboys a record three times in 1994, 1995, and 1996. Future Australian internationals [[Brett Kimmorley]], [[Ben Ikin]] and [[Luke Priddis]] were also in the side.
The 1995 Schoolboys toured France and England and went undefeated. The side featured future Australian internationals [[Trent Barrett]] and [[Matthew Gidley]] and [[2008 Rugby League World Cup|World Cup]] winning [[New Zealand Rugby League|New Zealand]] captain [[Nathan Cayless]]. 1995 also saw the first ever Northern Territory schoolboy in [[Duncan MacGillivray]]. MacGillivary later represented [[Scotland national rugby league team|Scotland]] at the [[2008 Rugby League World Cup]].
Due to the [[Australian Rugby League|ARL]] and [[Super League]] war in 1996, the Schoolboys (who were supposed to tour New Zealand) toured [[Papua New Guinea]] for the first time. They went undefeated in their four matches. The team was coached by 1972 Australian Schoolboys representative [[Brian Hetherington]]. The team also featured Ben Rauter, whose father Herb also represented the Australian Schoolboys in 1972. Ben and Herb became the first father son pair to represent the Schoolboys.
The side went undefeated in their 1997 when they once again hosted BARLA, in a squad which featured future first graders and representative players [[Luke Bailey (rugby league)|Luke Bailey]], [[Dane Carlaw]] and [[Luke Patten]]. In 1998, the Schoolboys toured New Zealand, playing 4 games and losing only one to an Auckland Invitational XIII.
