Leeton and Griffith dominate the squad with seven players from both sides selected to take on the best of the four Wagga clubs.
Eroni Naua, Seremia Jerry Navia, Wah Paw, Sai Ratudradra, Semi Rokodinono, Soropepeli Soqe and Sitiveni Watkins will play in the reboot of the rep fixture.
Country coach Nick McCarthy is pleased with the side he's been able to assemble.
"I'm very happy with it," McCarthy said.
"There is a couple of guys we would have liked to have played but some injuries have kept them out.
"That is always the way when you are picking rep sides, or any side, through the middle of the season."
Tom Boyle, Jack Hassett and Charlie McIntosh are all out through injury while Harrison Friswell is out with illness.
City's side feature representatives from the top three teams on the ladder, however McCarthy expects the Country side will be definitely be up to the task.
"What you'll find is the Wagga sides have potentially more depth in their clubs and a couple of injuries to the Country players can thin out their first grade sides pretty quickly," he said.
"When you take the best of those County players and put them together in an environment where they are playing with other guys of a rep standard we are going to see some really good football for them."
The junior gala day starts at 9am with City v Country at 3pm.
McCarthy believes it is a great initiative to have both juniors and seniors together.
"It will be great for young girls and boys to see potentially where they can be if they stay with rugby," he said.
