The 2008 Junior Reds Under 15 Camp proved to be a success at a number of levels.  Firstly, 40% of players selected in the Camp were identified from regional areas with 7 out of the 15 players named in the Queensland Under 15 Merit XV coming from outside Brisbane. Secondly, the coaching support from the Reds Performance Rugby Department was instrumental in providing one of the highest quality coaching groups in Australia.  All players received coaching from Queensland Reds Head Coach Phil Mooney; Queensland Reds Assistant Coaches Mark Bell & Damon Emtage; and QAS Reds Academy Head Coach Paul Carozza.  Finally the camp culminated in the presentation of the Queensland Under 15 Merit XV with Nick Malouf being named as Captain.
