Sep 19th Canada v USA, Toronto (Colonial Cup)

Oct 17th USA v Canada (Colonial Cup)

Read somewhere about the Cook Islands playing World Cup qualifiers at the end of the year but as usual in rugby league, can't find anything planned for the pacific nations.

Brilliant. Any word on Jamaica playing??

Samoa won quite comfortably in the end. Some great photos on Facebook and looks like a pretty decent crowd there although unsure of the exact number.

Why was last year's Euro Cup used to decide who will play in Four Nations 2016 and not this year's Cup??

 

[Storm13]

Stop making sense.

 

[paulmac]

Why was last year's Euro Cup used to decide who will play in Four Nations 2016 and not this year's Cup??

Or even using a combined table over a 2 year period like in the Euro B championship?

 

[langpark]

Not sure if it was a fully sanctioned international yesterday or not, but....

Northern Ireland 20-46 Republic of Ireland

Seeing as Northern Ireland do not appear anywhere in the rankings, I assume not.

RL is currently a four counties sport so this would've been a trial game/Origin-style match rather than an international.

 

[crimpo]

That's right - they played a home-and-away series last year.

Just checked and it is a series as last year with the return fixture next week at Bray. Good to see they also played an Under-19s curtain raiser for the first time. Portadown RU - good old friends of RL in the North - provided the venue for yesterday's game

If only the good people at Lotto would allow my numbers to come up so i could jetset around the globe watching these internationals !

Will happily accept donations in the meantime !

 

[hutch]

Still no word on the end of season pacific tests? Cook Islands are meant to be playing a World Cup qualifier and the two winners of the mid season tests are meant to play for the pacific title.

 

[The Partisan]

My link in the World Cup Section was the last i heard of the Tonga / Cook Islands game.

Some info on the other clash would be nice ! Though NRL finals news will now suffocate any International news.

 

[hutch]

Does anybody have any email contacts of the rlif or World Cup organising committee? Perhaps they could answer some questions. News is so hard to come by, surely all World Cup qualifying matches and tournaments should be known by now!
