Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

SL clubs would justifiably be worried about their players risking serious injury in an exhibition match, as occurred to Australian Wallabies RU props Matt Dunning and Sekope Kepu:

Injuries in games like this can put a player's career at risk:

Furthermore, surely it is ironic that the NZ Kiwis and Pacific Island teams struggle to secure release of their players for test matches, or for those players to be fit enough to play, yet a Rest of the World 13 should be allowed to select them? |

Just like the pointless drubbing of France
"but we need this game to see how far France have come"
The international game is a joke and it doesn't matter what you do it will always be a joke, i guarantee that in 30 years time nothing will have changed.

FRANCE v ,wales,scotland,ireland and eng 'A'...would be worth watching and be very competitive game just what those nations need....these countries would still get to play against england..just not mid season
ENGLAND v Other nationalities would be worth watching,intense,competitve and the damn near closest thing england players will ever get to kind of battles australian player get during state of origin....hell half the players in the othernationalities team would still be playing origin and for the kangaroos if they still played down under!
in fact i've sold it to myself...if we are ever going to beat the aussies then we need a series against the 'Other nationalities" asap!!!
