Props Pouri Rakete-Stones and Tim Farrell, a son of former Magpies prop John Farrell, and Magpies loosie Marino Mikaele Tu'u were the others named by Baby Blacks head coach and Magpies mentor Craig Philpott for the May 25 to June 18 tournament.
Clive's Falcon was a commanding figure during the Baby Blacks title-winning effort at the Oceania Tournament which ended on the Gold Coast at the weekend - classy in general play and slick in the goalkicking department with six successes from seven attempt at goal in the 43-6 win against Australia and eight successes from nine attempts in an earlier outing.
"I'm enjoying playing at first five as well as having a bit of time at 12. I'm enjoying leading the boys around. As for the goalkicking I'm just following the processes after a bit of work with Osh," Falcon said referring to Magpies goalkicking coach Peter O'Shaughnessy.
He was rapt the other three Bay players had also got the nod.
"I've grown up with these boys playing through the grades. It's pretty special."
Farrell was taken to the Gold Coast as a project for next year's World Championship but Philpott said he did so well with his opportunities he forced the selectors to pick him for Georgia. Philpott was impressed with how Farrell contacted his Victoria University lecturers to warn them he may have a bit of catching up to do with his part-time studies after the Aussie trip.
"When I got the news this morning I dropped one of my geography papers. I'm not capable of doing all my part-time studies if I want to achieve my rugby goals," Farrell said.
"When I went to the Gold Coast I was trying not to think about Georgia. Now I've got this opportunity I want to help the team do as much as we can to win the World Championship so I get another crack next year," Farrell said.
Rakete-Stones was thrilled to get the nod after just missing World Championship selection last year after playing in the Oceania Tournament. The fact he can play all three frontrow positions is one of his biggest assets.
"I'm still happy to play all three roles but I'm settling down more at tighthead now. I know I have to keep working hard at being more aggressive. I like the mobility side of my game but I just have to force a trigger and get that aggression sorted."
Mikaele-Tu'u was busy with a Hurricanes training stint yesterday. He was a member of last year's Baby Blacks team which finished fifth in Manchester and has made no secret of his desire to help the 2017 team erase those memories with title glory.
