The Combined New South Wales-Queensland Country (or Combined NSW-QLD Country) is an Australian rugby union team that was created for the 2013 British and Irish Lions tour to Australia. Unlike the 2001 British and Irish Lions tour to Australia, the Lions will face a combined country made up of teams representing Queensland Country and New South Wales Country. The match is the fourth match of the tour and will be played at Hunter Stadium in Newcastle, New South Wales on 11 June 2013,[2] with Australian referee Steve Walsh in charge of the game.[3]

The team will be coached by former Wallaby, Cam Blades.

Squad

On May 31, a 23-man squad was announced to play the Lions. Included were: 10 players form the Super Rugby, 4 Players from Premier Rugby, and 9 from Country rugby (5 QLD Country and 4 NSW Country). Players Dylan Evans and Ben Greentree were not part of the original 43-man training squad.[4]
