That's a good read. Some really interesting characters and stories in that article.

Interesting article. Didn't former England player England International Ikram Butt actually start up a competition in India or was that in Pakistan? Interesting that many players are coming from Auckland Competition set up for new immigrants to NZ to try rugby league. Speaking of Kiwi's of Indian heritage involved in the sport, International referee from back in the 1980's Neville keisha and former Warriors/Newcastle and current Northcote Tigers player David Bhana come to mind.

Think that was Pakistan.

There has been rugby, including juniors in Kerala for a few years

I'm not sure either but I think Ikram Butt set it up in Morocco.
