Canadian rugby league’s equivalent to an All-Star game, or perhaps even a State of Origin of sorts, is all set to make its debut on the sport’s calendar in 2020. 

Canada Rugby League Association’s (CRLA) very first East versus West match will be played in Toronto in January.

It’s at Lamport,presumably under the temporary dome they erect in winter.

That is a good question, not that I know anything about it.

Because the dome only covers the pitch; the spectators wouldn't be able to see anything.

They have to start somewhere though don't they? Any development should be applauded.

Here here - at least the Canadians seem to have a strategy to promote TWP and the game in general

 

Good luck to them

They started this years ago with CRL.

It says its the debut and the very first East versus West match. Either way its a welcome development.

Can they fit goalposts under a dome ?

Not enough height for ' bombs ' , and no spectators 

Just seems a bit daft

You're right,  it would be better for the players to not do anything.

Like Yorkshire vs Lancashire, the best playing the best won't work.

They need a couple of rounds of loop fixtures instead.
