2010 All Stars Clash

The first National Rugby League All Stars game will kick-off the 2010 season with a celebration of rugby league's diversity and of its role in the community.

The All Stars sides each boast 20-man squads, with 16 positions voted by the public.

The Rugby League Indigenous Council select four of its team positions and, in recognition of his service to the Indigenous community and his passion for the Indigenous All Stars concept, Preston Campbell has been named ahead of an array of premiership talent as the first player chosen and captain.

The public will decide 16 players with no restriction on which club the players are from, after which the Indigenous Council will announce its three remaining nominations to complete the 20-man squad.

The NRL All Stars team will include the Kangaroos captain and vice-captain and the New Zealand captain and vice-captain with the remaining 16 positions determined by the public vote.

The prerequisite for the NRL All Stars is that one player from each NRL team must feature in the 16 voted by the public.
