International Origin – What Did We Learn?

June 14th, 2011
Daniel Andruczyk

Friday the 10th of June saw one of the “newer” innovations in Rugby League come to fruition. I have it in quotation marks because in reality its not a new innovation in Rugby League. The International Origin match played in Leeds saw the England Lions team take on an Exiles team, the exiles team was meant to be made up of Australians and New Zealanders. The Exiles in a last minute dash were able to overcome the England team 16 to 10.

IRFL Press Release – Sicilian Youth play strong part in Italian League Evolution!

JUN 22ND, 2011
From Joel Morgan, IRLF media

Three weeks into a national Italian Rugby League competition under a new brand – the ‘r-Evolution League’ as managed by the Italia RFL is starting to show glimpses of a game that was lost after the 50’s and 60’s – as it was known in mystery back than as ‘gioco a 13’, but now Rugby a 13. But also rugby league has gained growing niches in Rome (under 2010 Champions – Gladiators Roma) and through the Sicilians with Spartans Catania. Rugby League had never been played at a domestic level outside Northern Italy until 2010 when the Italia RFL was born.

CZRLA 2011 State of Origin Result

June 27th, 2011
CONTACT: Andy Mulhall – andy.mulhall@rlef.eu.com

The CZRLA West team, made up of players from the Prague & Beroun clubs, as well as Chrudim, are the 2011 Czech Representative Champions. West, with the majority of their players coming from the 2010 CZRLA champion team & 2010 league leaders at the midway point in the 2011 domestic season – Beroun Black Panthers – scored the 1st 3 tries of the match, all by Jan Buben, & looked as though they were on course to dominate the match, much as Beroun have done throughout most of their matches this season. However CZRLA East, made up of players from the Pardubice Jets & Vrchlabi Mad Squirrels, hit back with 3 unconverted tries of their own before half-time ensuring that at the break the only difference between the teams was a late try for West by Beroun captain-coach David Dolak, & 2 conversions from Buben.

EELS AND PANTHERS ROCK THE ISLANDS

July 2nd, 2011
By Cheyne Maher

This week with a major Fusion conference, work and travel overseas I haven’t been able to keep on top of thins as usual. I apologise for this and I hope that by Sunday I will be back on board covering all things Rugby League. However not that there hasn’t been a lot happening I have been fortunate enough to have one of my regular readers of the site travel recently to a far corner of the Rugby league globe, the Cook Island. Cheyne Maher has been kind enough to write a summary of the experiences with Cook Island Rugby League.

By Daniel Andruczyk

There has been much that has happened in the last two weeks that I have not covered, but I am sure that everyone has been up to speed on things from other sources like rleague and Global Rugby League. However while I was back in Australia I was able to do a few things in Rugby League. So here is a quick summary of what’s been going on.

I don't know why the Hurricanes couldn't go straight into the USARL or Amnrl and be successful from day one.
With Dane's contacts I'm sure he could find three or four imports who want to spend 3 months in Jamacia who would be better than the imports in any other team, and filling the team with the best players in Jamacia should mean they will be pretty good.
I'd go as far as saying they could win it in their first season.

By Daniel Andruczyk

Canada 40 – 10 Jamaica
Fletchers Fields in Northern Toronto saw the Canadians host the Jamaican Rugby League team for the first time on home soil. The last time these two teams met each other was in Jacksonville last year as part of the Atlantic Cup. There the Jamaicans had a 10 point win over the Wolverines 36-26. However it was to be a different story this time round. The Canadians have had a full year and season to prepare and the players rearing to have another shot at the Canadians.

A Good Move by the AMNRL

August 6th, 2011
By Daniel Andruczyk

This week some controversy has been stirred up by the AMNRL with the announcement of their venue for the World Cup Qualifiers in October. The controversy stems from the fact that the stadium is a baseball stadium rather than a traditional “Football” stadium. However this is a very smart move by the AMNRL in a few respects. Let me go through why I think this is a smart move by the AMNRL and why fans everywhere should support it and not be too concerned.
