    Should these Olympic Sports return?

    Town planning was a subsection of the architecture prize, back when artistic competitions also formed part of the games. I would also take the list of sports for 1900 with a pinch of salt, there were some strange goings-on alright but many formed part of the World Fair...in fact even the...

    Rugby league must evolve for the international game to progress

    One word: Development. It's the only way of getting to that stage whilst retaining the integrity of the international game. Professional opportunities will grow as the game does, plus the more competition there is from foreign players, the more will be taken on by NRL clubs. What is the point in...

    "American Rugby"?

    I quite like DINGB@T's earlier suggestion of 6-down Rugby. Any American who is familiar with rugby union will be able to guess what it is like, and what makes it fundamentally different to union, before even setting eyes on the game.

    Ah, fair enough! Greco-Roman wrestling originates in France after all, so there's a precedent of sorts.

    I don't know about in Canada, but in the US it's simply referred to as football.

It's going to be tough to explain to...

    Why do we have the world cup?

    I have to say I agree with you Manoj, the league world cup is worth keeping, without a doubt. Firstly, it provides a great opportunity for upcoming nations to compete with the biggest. The format for 2013, I believe, is ideal, giving the best of the smaller nations this opportunity whilst also...

    World Cup Qualifying Groups Announced?

    Of course, the Cooks aren´t an independent nation, you are correct, but there are other nations with a lesser degree of independence than the Cooks who compete in international sports including rugby league, the countries of the UK being obvious examples but also French overseas ´departements´...
