I suggest posting the information and updates on the main forum too, as there are plenty of members who never look at this forum. 2 "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life.

Looking at this benignly, algorithms will be programmed to recognise a sport more by its name than by the number of players in a team. And in French RL the only nominal contrast they generally draw is between Treize and Quinze. We need more clubs to go the route of "Albi Tigers Rugby League". How could Google translate make sense of Rugby League Nines? i.e. Rugby a Treize a Neuf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
