The Kelowna Crows will have four representatives playing in what will be the first ever international game of Rugby League in British Columbia, between the BC Bulldogs and Utah Avalanche.

On top of that, they'll also have the opportunity to do so in front of a home town crowd at the Apple Bowl.

The roster was announced on BC day, and Freddie Humphreys, Daniel Blasco-Morris, Jared Curry and Neil Fowler were all selected to the 25-man squad for the representative season which begins in Kelowna on Saturday August 18 and finishes in Las Vegas on November 10.

The August 18 international will begin at 3:00 PM and be preceded by the Rusty’s Touch Rugby League final at 2:00 PM.

"This is a very impressive group of players who are out to prove they are the best players in Canada and will be primed to show the people of Kelowna how good it is to watch a fast, hard hitting game of Rugby League," says Canadian Rugby League Development Manager Paul O'Keefe.

"Daniel Blasco-Morris is an elusive runner and a tough competitor whose attitude on the field rubs off on the other players.  Freddie Humphreys has fantastic ball skills and can get passes away like no other player in Canada. Neil Fowler basically earned his position from producing an incredible work rate and tackling anything that moves no matter how big or fast. Jared Curry has already represented Canada a couple of weeks ago. He is an exciting player to watch."

Tickets are available at the gate for $10, with children 10 and under admitted free if accompanied by a parent.
