Last year Vereya (RRL runners up) came in at rd 2, but I have heard only the russian champs (Loko) will compete this year, I hope not, thourouly enjoyed watching Vereya last year.

That's a great win for the Eagles.

indeed, and what a quality match up too with the Navy beating Welsh side Valley Cougars 28-38, over 15 GB forces and Wales "A" internationals in that game, and a host of Celtic colts players and a full welsh cap to boot.
