Surely it would be better for them to attempt to start a second Polish team rather than pay these ridiculous costs for a couple of one-off matches every year?

It is, right now I think seeing any growth is good. Initial steps are always tough and many countries fail before getting anywhere.

Sweden claim historic win in the Nordic Cup

July 25th, 2013
From Scott Edwards, Swedish Rugby League

The Nordic cup opener for 2013 saw competition underdogs upset the current champions. Sweden, who are usually on the receiving end of early points were turning the tables this time. While keeping possession for what felt like 20 minutes they racked up a comfortable 20 nil score line. Tim Bolton crossed the line after five minutes which cemented some confidence in the team. The experienced captain for the day, Fabian Wikander, and man of the match, converted the 4 to 6 and went on to score two tries of his own and to kick a further 6/7.
