The match will be a perfect hit-out for both sides with the Dragons approaching the start of the Toyota Cup season while Rams coach Kurt Hancock will get the first look at his side in a match situation.
Group 10 dominate the side, with 17 players, while the rest of the squad is made up of six from Group 11, four from the Castlereagh League and one from the Barwon Darling League.
Westside forward Tom Clow is Dubbo's only representative in the squad, with the call up good reward for his improved efforts during the past two seasons.
Clow was a relative unknown two years ago when he played under-18s for the Rabbitohs but in the space of two years has become a first grade player for the men in red and green.
Classy Wellington half Lewis Stanley will be tasked with guiding the side around from five-eighth, alongside Mudgee halfback Zac Adams.
Forbes Magpies have two players in the squad with Hayden Bolam named at hooker while Ben Maguire will start in the second row.
Young Narromine powerhouse Ryan Richardson has been named at prop while Ethan McKellar is the final Group 11 player in the squad and has been named to run out at lock.
The match will be played at Michael Cronin Oval and kicks off at 4.30pm.
