Love the Chile logo...

Their logo represents the Chiefs of the original Indigenous tribes of Chile before the Spanish came.

The Chileans also are one of the stronger Latin American nations because there are over 30 000 people of Chilean descent living in Australia and are naturally big as well.

In our last international against Thailand the Chileans had 8 players in our first team and 6 in our Youth Team.

Valid point. Would hope the organisers sought approval from the RLIF for the games to be played under their jurisdiction.

We have and always will abide by the RLIF rules and regulations when playing an international match and their criteria.

Every time we make progress or announce international fixtures we make sure it is run like a true professional Rugby League match and alert the RLIF of ALL of our progress.

We ALWAYS make sure things like insurance, ground staff, WHS, ambulance, Medical staff, Proper referees etc are ALL to RLIF standard when organizing matches.

Thanks for clarifying L101.

Knowing the work done to date I was confident this would be the case.

AUSTRALIA’S oldest Rugby League club will play host to the two newest international teams, when Chile faces El Salvador at the Newtown Jets’ home of Henson Park on Saturday, June 11.

The game will be the first 13-on-13 match between two Latin American teams.

In a tribute to Rugby League’s powers of healing and unification, many of the players featuring come from refugee families who migrated to Australia in the 1980s to escape civil unrest in their homelands.

As recently as 2015, El Salvador had the highest homicide rate (excluding war zones) of any nation.

Chile and El Salvador have emerged as the strongest individual teams from a volunteer-run project now in its fourth year – Latin Heat Rugby league.

Backed from the outset by Guzman Y Gomez Mexican Taquerias, Latin Heat has unearthed players of South and Central American heritage from more than 20 nations, and provided a pathway to international representation.

While Chile and El Salvador have faced each other in sevens Rugby League before, the June 11 game will be their debut under full-sided rules.

Chile are the current GYG Latino Sevens champions, while El Salvador possesses two of the backline stars of the combined Latin Heat’s 54-16 win against Thailand in June – brothers Alvaro and Michael Alarcon.

Organisers hope to encourage a ‘Red v Blue’ theme among international league fans, with the colours of the nations similar to those of Tonga and Samoa, who feature in the Pacific Test on May 7 at Parramatta.

The undercard to the Chile v El Salvador game will feature a nine-a-side match between Peru and Uruguay, and a seven-a-side game between Colombia and Ecuador.

On a packed day for the sport, the Henson Park schedule will conclude with Newtown facing Wentworthville in the NSW Intrust Super Premiership.

Tickets will be $10 on the gate.
