THE QRL and QAIHC Arthur Beetson Foundation have today announced that two Murri teams will be touring in October.
The Murri Under 15 side will tour Papua New Guinea while the Queensland Murri Mens team will travel to New Zealand to play the New Zealand Maori squads.
While in Papua New Guinea the Under 15 Murris will play two matches between October 3 - 7.

Over in New Zealand the Queensland Murri Mens side will play two matches against the Maori in Rotorua and Huntly between October 16 - 27.
