Canada looked a half decent set up, like everything else RL oriented, needs investment but enjoyed the commentary

2 home games for the Scots, hopefully we can get some interest generated from supporters

Celtic home nations finally officially announced with Scotland playing 2 home games. 3 Scottish teams playing Ireland on the 17th, all positive news https://www.internationalrugbyleague.com/article/839/mens-celtic-cup-announced-for-october-2026?fbclid=IwdGRjcAUxoEJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBwZG9mBWZkaWQWUPwhvhMSw-cxxYnzK7Uoy9_Vj_Efe3NydGMGYXBwX2lkCjY2Mjg1NjgzNzkAAR4p42sZE3qOYHzT7jf13EAv3uHnbZ2fsMwMlCazIO09a72AquQXCGeLNcca7Q_aem_20i39BAP3omHd8z4sGfPzw

Someone needs to let the SRL know, absolutely nothing as yet from them

The Domestic team played Irelands domestic squad recently but no idea about the Welsh, or 1st team games, where did you hear it from As the SRL are terrible at promoting such suff

Also appears there maybe a men’s home nations event coming next year

Scotlands women’s team face there 5th international since their conception last year , travelling to The Netherlands for an international on 17th October. Also planned talks are ongoing for a women’s Celtic Cup tri series next year

Overall it’s been a positive exercise for both nations, and hopefully more to come especially at junior levels. Scotland A have had run outs already this season but with players having home commitments it’s difficult to get a regular squad out, plus we did have a couple of call offs before travelling. Domestically the season was a bit of a mishmash relying on Union players who are committed to Union towards the end of the season plus holidays etc teams had to call off games due to lack of players. Though we did see a couple of new teams enter. SRL - I really don’t want to be negative as they are battling and always have there backs against the wall but from a social media point of view it’s really terrible, very little info on league games when there being played results tables, we rely heavily on the clubs posting this. In fact Ireland posted the 2 match series week before the SRL, and it was only a few days before the match in Edinburgh they released anything. The social media side is pretty disastrous Heritage - we are having local trials to bring in the locals and a pathway is in place but we do rely on lads lassies from the north, it is what it is with the funds we have SRL are actively looking at options and plans a meeting to see how the league can move forward due the end of season issues so here’s hoping

coverage of Scotland v Ireland

Yeah that’s true I believe the SRL are going to look at the league it’s make up and see what can be done for next year. We need players to dedicate themselves to completing the RL season

We do rely a lot on RU players and player availability was and is an issue. SRL do plan to look at this and plan accordingly for 2027. Joining the Cumbria leagues would be amazing but again funding is the issue from both Scotland and Cumbria. Edinburgh will always be around but we just need to get the league format right

So it seems the Scottish season has finished abruptly, no grand final no real reason why from the SRL which is typical. Leaving Edinburgh Eagles to post this That's a wrap for 2026 - nearly. If you've been wondering about the Grand Final, the truth is simple: you didn't miss it. It never happened. That's a disappointing way for the season to end and reflects the wider challenges that rugby league (and other sports) continue to face in Scotland. The sport's journey north of the border has never been straightforward, and this season has been another reminder of that reality. What hasn't changed is the dedication of everyone at Eagles. Through every challenge, people continue to show up, put the work in and represent this club with pride. The season isn't completely over though - 7 Eagles players will represent Scotland Club XIII against Ireland this Saturday. Our commitment isn't diminished. In 2027 we'll regroup, rebuild and be ready to go again. Thank you for continuing to be part of the journey. #edinburgh #flylikeaneagle #rugbyleague
