well, 3 lines in a press release and made up names of teams will not create a championship - there is no regular RL competition on Italian soil - FACT! The italian based players are all RU - not bad players at all btw -

have we got photos? tables? scores? winners?...

The final squad - the one which will be actually playing will comprise UK, French, OZ players and maybe 1-2 Italian RU guys

On a similar note - Look ate the Scotland and Ireland squad and where the players will actually come from

Cheer

Cheer what?

Here's one of those Italian rugby league clubs that doesn't exist. Remember I said I'd watched rugby league in Padova when I lived there? Well this imaginary club even has a facebook page.

Catalancs,

You might have seen some RL in Padova, but the reality is that ther is noe competition in Rugby - how many people actually played? where did they come from? who where they? which clubs-

I can set up a facebook page as well for my Ouagadougou Junior League as well... This facebook page has been set up by Matthew Sands, overseas player based in Lyon, France - they refer to a "championship" which was a 1 day festival, which was eventually cancelled

IncidentallyI'd rather be at Twickers [/ifrom?

I cannot recall writing this - I am worried you would be subject to hallucinations? lol

How's that going?

Upper Volta Rugby League is booming -

Actually - next time I go there I can get over 100 kids kicking a Rugby Ball...

Union or league? Despite what the IRB figures might tell you, kids simply kicking a rugby ball doesn't mean that rugby union is actually played in that country.

Why do you keep on bringing abou RU - That is not the point of the post =

We are arguing the fact that Italy: Which does not have a competition or any significant presence on his soil - neither an officially rcognise body is playing in a top comp - thanks to their diaspora

Some of us are criticsing the spin made about it in order to pretend something is happening there -

Actually you have not answered my question - who did you actually see play in Padova? When was is?

tx

Back to square one! -Looks like someone's thrown the towel -

Catalancs,

Shame you are not putting your money where you mouth is, going to support these emerging nations...

Enjoy toulouse anyway!

Rumbled.

I'd love to go to every game, but money and work constraints mean it just isn't possible.

Don't worry I will.

Catalans think rugby union is Rugby League.

Sky Sports has confirmed that the rugbyleague.com European Cup fixtures between Scotland and Lebanon, and Wales and Ireland will be televised live in an exciting international Rugby League double header on Sunday November 1.
