The North Queensland Toyota Cowboys under-20s team will field an unchanged side against the St George Illawarra Dragons at 1300SMILES Stadium this afternoon.
With only one change announced on Tuesday – winger Jesse Pomare-Anderson in for the injured Gideon Gela-Mosby – coach Aaron Payne’s young charges will be full of confidence heading into the match, shooting for their fourth-straight win of the 2016 National Youth Competition.
The third-placed Cowboys dropped their opening round game against the Sharks but have been in the winner’s circle since, while the 14th-placed Dragons have one win from four matches.
Today’s game kicks off at 4.15pm.
