Wales vs PNG

[Coastbloke]

This is apparently being played on the 28th October 2007.

Has anyone heard anything more about this match..??

 

[brendothejet]

no i hadn't.

Everytime I see a thread entitled "team from small country vs team from small country" I think to myself, "is this a thread about a game actually happening or is it a pie in the sky idea by another fellow forummer"

Glad to see the Dragons and the Kumuls are going to hit it out.

More congrats to the teams for organising it, now promote it!

Nothing has been mentioed of this game in Britain as far as I'm aware. Where did you get your info Coastbloke?

If they do play then I'll defo travel up to Wales to see the game. I've never seen the Kumuls play thanks to our silly administrators.

 

[RLIF]

From the Wales Rugby League site under fixtures for Welsh National side it has this match

 

[deluded pom?]

Checked out the Cymru RL site. The only reference I can find is in the fixtures section. It doesn't even merit a mention in the news section. Strange.

World cup semi-finalists two times running and the only country with RL as its national sport.

It is a huge shame that this gets so little attention.

 

[RLIF]

Checked out the Cymru RL site. The only reference I can find is in the fixtures section. It doesn't even merit a mention in the news section. Strange.

Well its on there and i guess it will happen seeing the Kiwis have pulled the plug on playing Wales this season.

how sad is it that the teams have to organise this because our international body has no strength and vision to oragnise games like this themselves.

it's not the job of the RLIF to organise tour games between nations..

 

[Sam_the_man]

What is there job?

 

[roughyedspud]

to oversea the running of the international game.....


as for tour games it's up to the nations governing bodies like the PNGRL,frenchRL,WELSH RL etc to pick up the bloody phone and sort something out...after next years world cup the RLIF should have some money in the bank to help part fund tours but the nation have to organise them first..

 

[deluded pom?]

Surely it's down to the RLIF AND the nations to put in place a rolling cycle of tours and tournaments. I see the All Golds' tour at the end of the season has now been reduced to five games only. The centenary game , 3 match Test series and a one off against France. No midweek games at all.

it's down to the RLIF to sort out the tournaments..they should have a hand in both tours & tournaments but in the past few years when ever the RLIF have come together for meetings (with all RL nations attending) all that appears to have come out of it has been tournaments (tri & federation shield)..
