What the hell is going on in Russia?

Does Italy have a club competition.

because if they dont, its just another made up side.

The Simone Franchini Nine's Tournament is a big success attracting local media and speccies. I used to live in Padova and rugby of both codes is followed keenly.
The league final was played there in June.

But do they have Rugby League clubs?

Doesnt sound like it.

Not good for Russia they need to sort themselves out. But very good for Italy to get to play yet more games this year.

Are there rugby league CLUBS.


Very simple question. Stand alone League clubs. yes or no.

No

nope

Then lets stop the bullsh*t then.

No bull$h!t here. Italy are definitely in the European Cup.
