Storm Cup NRL schoolboys live stream: Round 1 Hallam v Victoria University, The Grange v Mt Ridley
Don't miss out on the headlines from Rugby League Live Stream. Followed categories will be added to My News. Hallam Secondary College excitement machine Waka Hammond is back to turn heads in the Storm Cup as he and his teammates seek to defend their title. Hammond made headlines during last year's Peter Mullholland Cup when his school became the first Victorian team to qualify for the tournament's quarter-finals. Now he will be hoping to help Hallam kick start their 2025 season with victory in the Storm Cup on Tuesday against Victoria University Secondary College. That clash will be the first of a big double-header broadcast live and exclusive on KommunityTV from 12.45pm, followed by The Grange against Mt Ridley at 2.15. Cast your mind back to 2024 and you might remember Hammond sidestepping opponents and breaking three tackles on his way to a last minute try. He enters the clash on the back of a significant season where he represented the Melbourne Storm in SG Ball where the Victorian side made the finals. Currently contracted to the Storm, he spends some days learning from current stars Jerome Hughes and Cameron Munster and rugby league legends including Billy Slater. The young gun has previously played in the halves and fullback and Hallam assistant coach Jamie Fardell said a decision on his position is yet to be decided. 'He can play anywhere which is a really good thing for us,' he said. 'He's our co-captain as well. In Year 10, we played him as a hooker. We like when we have him at fullback because there's a real sense of freedom.' Hammond isn't the only player connected to the Storm either with co-captain Micah Warena, who plays at lock and hooker, expected to play a key role. Prop Phoenix Woods is another prospect to keep an eye on after playing in the SG Ball tournament. 'Micah is a real leader and that's why we made him captain of the senior team when he was in Year 10,' Fardell said. 'He can steer the ship and is really hard working. Phoenix has really engaged with the school community since he's been here, he's a really well liked character around the school.' Fardell said the group was determined to make their mark on the competition. 'Many of this group were in Year 11 when we won for the first time,' he said. 'It drives a little passion. We'll have KommunityTV going in the library, the theater and there's learning spaces teachers will take classes to. 'There's a lot of passion about our involvement.' The Storm Cup coverage is part of a partnership between KommunityTV and the NRL to live stream every NRL National Schoolboy and Schoolgirl Cup match in 2025.

The hunt for national glory and the chance to be immortalised among the greats will be on the line when the NRL National Schoolboy and Schoolgirl Cups return for a blockbuster new season. Rugby league stars of the future from schools in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria are eager to battle it out to reach the national final. And every match from both boys and girls competitions will be exclusively live streamed on KommunityTV through all News Corp Australia digital mastheads. Queensland powerhouse Palm Beach Currumbin State High won a dramatic last-gasp national final against Patrician Brothers' College, Blacktown to claim the schoolboys title last year and the Reds will again be one of the teams to beat in 2025. A dominant Ipswich State High meanwhile crushed Hills Sports High in the schoolgirls decider. KommunityTV will once again be the only place you can watch the action live. It all begins on Tuesday, April 29 when Victorian schools begin the fight for the Storm Cup in a double-header clash. NSW teams then start their campaigns on May 6 and 7 before Queensland schools join the party later in May. 'We are excited to renew our partnership with the NRL to broadcast a record number of schoolgirls and schoolboys matches on KommunityTV this season,' News Sport Commercial Partnerships Editor Tim Morrissey said. 'These competitions provide not only key pathways for junior rugby league players, but also important education opportunities for participating students across three states. 'We look forward to showcasing the next generation of emerging talents, as they dream of one day emulating their heroes in the NRL and NRLW.'
