Two combined Greater Southern Region sides will now be picked this week to compete at the country championships to be played at Yass' Walker Park on July 20 - with matches against Monaro, Bidgee and Western.
If Greater Southern Region win through that day, they will face the winner of the northern pool, which includes teams from Central Coast/Newcastle, North Coast, Northern Rivers and Greater Northern that will play at Glen Innes' Meade Park, in the grand final on July 27 - with the venue still to be determined.
