HAVE you ever dreamed of standing in front of a packed grandstand, singing Advance Australia Fair beside your mates in a maroon jersey?
Well, that dream is about to become a reality for 19 Queensland students in May when they represent the 2008 Queensland Universities rugby league team.
Universities Rugby League Queensland officials remind aspiring applicants that you only have a week left to register your details for a shot at representing your state.
To be eligible for the Queensland side, players must be completing full-time tertiary education within any Queensland University, TAFE or recognised College or Tertiary institution.
The Queensland team is scheduled to resume their Interstate rivalry against a NSW Students side at WIN Stadium, Wollongong on Friday May 2.
The match will be the curtain-raiser for the annual NSWRL City-Country clash.
From that interstate clash, an Australian Students side will be selected to compete in the 2008 Universities Rugby League World Cup, which will be played in Brisbane from July 4-16.
Having won 2007's Interstate fixture in Brisbane 31-20, competition for positions in the 2008 Queensland's Universities Team is tipped to be fierce.
Queensland players commanded 12 of the 21 player selections in the 2007 Australian Universities squad, and the Queenslander's will be again primed to dominate selections.
Interested applicants can visit the URLQ website to start the application process, with a reminder that applications close on March 14.
For any queries relating to the team, please contact URLQ Chairman Martin Unicomb on 0417 728 925.
