Well.....This should be interesting. Lets hope both teams are full strength so the Americans get a good show.

"The last time a rugby league game was played in the US was State of Origin in Los Angeles, 1987."

Sounds about right.

You could hardly call Hawaii the U.S.

Smart move though. So many islanders there that would pick up the game quicker than Owen Craigie picks up his drive through mcdonalds.

Wow, that's some spurious facts?

 

[WaznTheGreat]

This is pretty kool actually,hopefully they put on a good show and the Honoluluians show much respect to Corey Parker.

Gonna be a tough ask to play this game so close to the date that we win Prem7.

Given Hawaii is a state of the United States of America, I reckon you could legit call it the US.

Yes, not mainland US, but I found Oahu, particularly Honolulu quite similar to other major US cities.

Last time I know a league game was played there was Souths vs Leeds in 2008. Correct me if i'm wrong.

If it means more footy to watch i'm all for it. Make it happen NRL.

If anything the tigpies should go with siro snr as an ambassador

The entire 'United States of America Rugby League' must have missed the memo.

Neither team will be full strength considering the Poms and Kiwis are playing a test series this year.

 

[carcharias]

Pretty sure Aus and NZ????played some game there on fake grass and WilIie mason did his knee.
Wasn't that long ago
Maybe 10 yrs?
It was a demo game I think

Not sure of the two teams

yeah i was waiting for someone to say "ummm they have a national comp"

also, the 3rd comment on that page-
Matt • 2 hours ago "The last time a rugby league game was played in the US was Origin in Los Angeles, 1987."
The last rugby league game played in the USA was just this weekend, in fact several teams played in the USARL.
Even if you only want to include Australian teams, Souths played Leeds in Jacksonville only about 5-10 years ago, then the Kangaroos played the USA in 2004.
Does whoever wrote this know anything about the game?
