Chris Lawrence selected in Kangaroos Four Nation Squad

Magpie junior Chris Lawrence and his Wests Tigers team mates Robbie Farah and Keith Galloway, have been selected in the Kangaroos Four Nations Squad.

Farah, Lawrence and Galloway are part of a 24 man squad named by the Australian Rugby League for the Four Nations tournament in the United Kingdom.

Rising young Wests Tigers prop Aaron Woods was named in the train-on squad but missed final selection. It was a great reward for a superb season, culminating in Woods winning the Wests Tigers Rookie of the Year Award on Friday.

Wests Tigers Head Coach Tim Sheens is the Kangaroos Coach.

Farah and Lawrence played Test matches for Australia at the end of last season.

Galloway’s selection - his first for Australia - comes on top of his superb season for the Wests Tigers which saw him represent NSW for the first time. He was also named the Wests Tigers Forward of the Year on Friday.

Wests Tigers will also be represented in the Four Nations by New Zealand Captain Benji Marshall and by Gareth Ellis and Chris Heighington for England.
