Quote: JB Down Under "Hong Kong RL also launched this week'"
Union did it by invading the world on the back of the British Empire, League will do it by distributing anzac bar staff to exotic destinations
Dubai and Hong Kong are a lot of things, but 'ripe for league' ain't one of them. They are bursting with ex-pat public school types who would roll up for the opening of a Rugby Union Envelope. The 7's is king in both places.
The preoccupation with pub teams as expansion when the game is in danger of further contraction at its only 2 homes is worrying.
