    PNG Digicel Cup Aiming for July 4 Kick Off

    Just on Bougainville, when they get their independence - how strong would Bougainville national team be? Could they challenge Cook Islands for that last Oceania spot at World Cup?

    European Championships 2020 - any news?

    I thought Gavin Willacy said there would be 3 tiers of 6?

    2021 RLWC draw

    I’d hope the draw is seeded in such a way where you could only have 2 nations from the same region in the one pool. I’d hate to see an all European pool for instance of England, Lebanon, Scotland & Ireland . World Cups should be about clashes of styles & cultures

    What now International Forum? Hot takes from the past two weeks.

    How about you can’t become a tier 1 nation until you win a World Cup. Something only Aus, NZ & GB/England have managed anyway. Will shit the argument up for 4 years.

    Pretty sure you can add Burundi & The Gambia to this list too.

    England to revive mid-season Test in 2020?

    Some out of the box thinking, why not put England in the same group as Italy & the Azurri could ‘host’ England at Leichhardt Oval mid season. As the majority of players in this match are Australian based it would cut back on costs. Could also play Malta v Greece in the European Championship B as...

    Russia withdraw from WC Qualifier v Scotland

    Nik Cotric’s brother has previously played for Serbia so I’d say he’d be across it. Opacic is a Serbian name but his forefathers are from Slovenia. However he is still eligible thru an obscure rule regarding former nation states.

    Nigeria, one to watch

    My theory is that the RLIF were so desperate to get Lebanon to the 2017 RLWC that they lumped them in with Africa because they failed to qualify thru Europe in the 2 previous World Cups.

    Wolfpack and grassroots

    Whilst I agree you can’t put a reserves side in the USARL surely the TWP could put an u/20s in that comp.

    Nigeria, one to watch

    Shits me that Lebanon are considered part of Africa. Lebanon is in Asia in nearly every sport. If they don’t want to be in Asia they should be in Europe like Israel (to the south of Lebanon) in football. Lebanon’s presence in Africa will stymy the development of African nations as seen when Sth...

    Best PNG player all time?

    No Arnold Krewanty or Sandy Campbell for the 80s?

    Pacific Test at new WSS?

    I’d make Samoa v Cook Is as the undercard of NZ v Tonga at Eden Park. All the Polynesian nations playing at the one ground would be something else. As for PNG v Fiji I’d play that in either Pt Moresby or Dolphin Oval. Plenty of Peeyanjians in SE QLD also the Petero/Redcliffe connection that...

    (Finally) Aus v Ton Confirmed - Oct 20, Mt Smart

    Anything know what time kickoff is for this game? Have a wedding to attend that day, be gutted to miss it if it’s a day game.

    Fears 2025 RLWC USA may not happen

    Give France a go. Stadia aplenty, close enough for English fans to travel en masse. With Catalans getting a bit of momentum this could be just as big for the game as a Nth American World Cup.

    2021 Qualifiers

    3rd World Cup cycle in a row where the US get a leg up. Not only have they they hosted every tournament, in the previous 2 editions they have had the benefit of a weeks rest between games as opposed to the 3/4 day turn around Canada/Jamaica/SA got. This time they get the soft draw of newcomers...
