Can only be a good thing.
The game needs to move towards an Olympic competition so this can only help.
That's not that I believe 9s should be an Olympic sport but just because of how many countries distribute funding. Not having an Olympic program could potentially hold the sport back in many nations.

There's been so little said about the Commonwealth Games RL tournament. It's criminal really. The RLIF doesn't seem to have mentioned it in their plans and the NRL (goes without saying) doesn't seem to acknowledge it at all considering it's in Australia and in the city of the club they own.

What teams are competing? What's the format? Where are they playing? Who's funding it?

For RL to be featuring (not exactly included) in the Commonwealth Games can only be a good thing for nations like SA where we struggle to get recognition.

Have there been any recent updates regarding SA progress? Last thing I recall is them bailing on a tournament at the last minute...
