The Sydney Roosters are proud to announce the line up for the Round 7 ANZAC Day Cup match against the St George Illawarra Dragons on Monday afternoon at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
The Roosters and Dragons will play the 21st Annual Anzac Day clash, with the two clubs having competed for the ANZAC Day Cup since 2002 in the biggest day for regular season rugby league.
The Roosters will be commemorating the Eastern Suburbs sides of 1944-1946 by donning the Bondi Blue coloured Wartime Jersey for a fourth time, with the jersey reintroduced last year.
The jersey is a replica of the one worn when the Club was forced to abandon the famous Tricolours design as a result of wartime rationing, and was also worn by the 1945 premiership winning side.
The day will again feature a curtain-raising ANZAC Day Commemorative Test Match between the Australian Defence Forces and the Turkish Rugby League, which will kick-off at 1:50pm.
The annual ANZAC Day ceremony will begin at 3:30pm, with the game kicking off at 4pm.
Head Coach Trent Robinson's has named a similar line up to the one which defeated the Warriors last week.
