Yes, sleeping in the changing rooms was quite great memory on that event. However,
zero domestic RL competition players (you missed Joel Barret, Stuart Barker and Martijn Jonkers, I think that they also played abroad).
What about Joel Barret, Kees Foxton, Jorik Moree, Aaron de Jager and Phil Parkinson (at least 3 of them has pretty tiny connections with Holland, but that was not the point)? The point is
zero domestic RL team's players again.
And really, bad financial situation in Holland didn't caused just cancellation of the trip to Belgrade of some players, but these who came (with Yanto on their head) payed their hotel and transfer bills (few hundreds Euros) with coins. Poor Holland RL!
Duncan Taylor and Alan Barker in 25-men sqaud, too, but unfortunaltely
zero from domestic RL competition club's again. And Dayne Nierinckx - classic provocateur, but doesn't matter. We had four boys from abroad (brothers Simeunovic form UK, David Milovanovic and Milan Radojevic from Australia, all of them with Serbian names, you couldn't recognize that they are not from Serbia).
Organization of the match - the same as number of domestic players: zero! So disputed RLEF Development Executive
Kevin Rudd marked the field, availability of
poor stadium for the match, the banquet,... You said that Serbians were not the best guest? Well, tell here to everyone what did we do bad in Holland. Here are the "bad guests" in affect,
on the banquet and
before we went to Amsterdam! At least, we didn't pay you the beer on the banquet (because you din't give single free beer for the players) with the coins of 10 Euro cents.
The banquet! How much did it cost you - about 50 Euros total? About that, ask everyone about us (Lebanese, French, Germans,...). If you said "unsatisfied" (because the referee didn't see two knock-ons in the set when you scored the first ry), it would be OK, but "not the best guests that" you "had hosted", it's simply miserly.
So, total of
zero domestic RL competition club player is the fact that you should live with. Whitehaven school would have it more in full English U16 national team, that was the point.
Playing v Holland: anywhere, anytime!
In those five years, we played v France, Lebanon, Morocco, Holland, Georgia, Russia, Greece (versus some of them several times). We had one draw v Morocco in Med Cup and all losses except Czech Republic. Who have you beaten? Czechs (less than 14-men Serbian squad) and Serbia three times? Who have you played with? I believe you haven't thought about the likes of France, Aussie-based Lebanon and Aussie-based Greeks.
Not more impressive than Serbia.
Because we are giving our best to develop and establish the game in this part of Europe, fulfilling our obligations and competining wherevere we can, playing domestic competition for six years, having junior competitions and U14 and U16 players, organization capabilities for the high-level competitions, etc., etc., etc.
OK, I will, but I wonder if he rolls his eyes again when he hear.
And, explain to the people, if you are so keen in RL development, why are you working for Rugby Union?
