Ipswich Grammar backrower Toby Bretherton has been named captain of the Queensland Reds Under-16 team to face Victoria in Canberra on Tuesday.
Bretherton, a product of Emerald's Nogoa Red Claws, will lead the team onto Viking Park where the Reds had a confidence-igniting 64-12 win over the Western Force last Saturday.
