I'm off up to this on Saturday. I think France will have too much for the Scots but what's most important is the young Scottish lads getting another game of international rugby league under their belts.

Yeah I'd presume that France will win but it's all about the Scottish getting the experience

Canada RL have just announced they will play 8 international matches in 2012, including their first overseas tour. I don't have the details yet but will let you know as soon as I do.

Fantastic thanks

Fiji 26-12 PNG www.rlfans.com/index.php?fid=43&id=76 Sounds like a great game, suprise result. Packed house. Port Moresby will be sold out next Sunday for the 2nd Test no doubt. International RL is making great strides now.

Aren't University of Leeds Students playing the Ukraine in Leeds this afternoon? If anyone knows the result please post it later today or tomorrow. Thanks in advance.

yes we did play against Ukraine today, the final score finished 28-10 to Ukraine, who were well marshalled by their 6 and 13, a big physical side who did the basics very well, it was very tight and close for 65 mins but 2 scores in the last 10 mins pulled the game from leeds, and in my honest opinion the scoreline flattered ukraine as it was an even contest throughout. The game was played in good spirit, and the ukrainian officials who touch judged did a good job, although the ref did give a lot of leeway on the play the ball and high shots, but at least consistent for both sides so no complaints. The game was broadcast live on ukrainian tv also, so potentially the interest growing back there.

Great stuff and congratulations on hosting such a groundbreaking game. I'm not sure what the domesticv situation is in the Ukraine but that must be a priority. Once a solid domestic championship is established they can look at regular intenational fixtures. The last thing rugby league needs is another promising nation trying to run before it can walk.

Canada will be playing a 2 game series against Lebanon next summer, with one of those games possibly taking place in Montreal. They'll also be playing the usual suspects (Jamaica, US) as well as the RAF. More internationals are in the pipeline. I'll post details as soon as I have confirmation.
