    Is Toronto Wolfpack helping Union in Canada?

    Three things in fact. First, Union is a niche sport here in Canada, way down the pecking order. Second, unlike Union, RL is essentially the same as gridiron: a ball control game with what Russell Crowe has described as defined periods of offense and defense, so it's much easier for Canadians...

    Germany now affiliate members of RLEF, aiming to compete in 2021 WC Qualifiers.

    Though that odd mixture of German and English in one word might attract some criticism, no one would have grounds to sue them because there are Bundesligas in many sports so no one sport has any monopoly on the term.

    NZ v Poms in US

    No, Denver is the right place for this. Playing it there means that they could use Akarika Dawn to promote it because Colorado sports fans may still remember him from when he played linebacker just 50 km away at the University of Colorado in Boulder.

    Toronto Wolfpack in League 1

    They do but they're slightly different. A CFL field is 110 yards (100 metres) long and 65 yards (59.4 metres) wide and the goal areas are normally 20 yards deep. BMO Field couldn't accomodate the latter, so the goal areas there are 16 or 17 yards deep judging by pictures of CFL matches played...

    Burnside and Canada: The TRUE birthplace of Rugby League

    One obstacle to that was that socially the CRFU was more like the RFU than the NU/RFL. It had strict amateurism and other elitist concepts like the RFU, and such rebels as there were here then more influenced by developments in the US and turned the game in that direction, betraying its...

    Burnside and Canada: The TRUE birthplace of Rugby League

    In addition to that, even before the Burnside rules came in Canadian rugby football administrators got rid of fair catches and introduced a 3-yard restraining area (later increased to 5) for offside members of the kicking team, implemented a rule to make teams run kicked balls out of their goal...

    USA Hawks 2017 World Cup

    As a matter of fact real Usonians — American being a continental identity shared by the 35 American countries, that's the correct English word for the US national identity — do play Aussie Rules, and the US has a national amateur team comprised entirely of players who lived in that country...

    New York pro rugby league team

    Which "higher-profile US rugby union players" is he talking about? I couldn't name even one US RU player and chances are neither could any Usonian sports fans either; the higher-profile athletes in the US with transferable skills would all be gridiron players, none would be RU players.

    France vs Jamaica

    A decent but not spectacular crowd to judge from that. Does anyone know the attendance?

    France

    A better format would be Top 3 from pool A advancing, Top 2 from pools B & C and the winner of pool D. The pools could then reflect the level of the competing countries more accurately.
