sweaty craiq Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 The Cons will never grasp that as a nation we hold P&R within our historic sports passionately, as this weeks soccer circus has shown.

unapologetic pedant Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 6 hours ago, ATLANTISMAN said: How competitive will the Welsh girls be v England on June 25th anyone know their standard. 5 hours ago, fighting irish said: No idea, but i can't wait to find out. Wales women played 2 games in 2019. They lost the first 30-6 against GB Teachers. The scoreline didn`t reflect the result. They won the second 24-20 against England Community Lions. Both games are up on YouTube. Have to mention this. - All the Welsh women come from RU, so they can struggle initially with the PTB. i.e. they can be too slow and deliberate. Their opposition are used to the PTB and can therefore play faster. This is now accentuated by English players being allowed to use the illegal rollball. Should the Welsh players copy that, or play the ball legally? The RFL should answer that question. In the Teachers` game, one of the Welsh players was penalised for literally rolling the ball between her legs. Yet during the rest of the game some English players were allowed to roll the ball and deliberately hop over it, which is no less illegal. What future is there for international RL fixtures if opposing teams are playing to different rules in a fundamental part of the game? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London have confirmed their participation. I assume the others have as well as it'd be odd for a formal press release to just include some 'nice ideas for teams'.

Not sure - but the bit at the end reads like the sort of thing you stick on a press release. 1 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

wackojacko Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 They're all in, RFL have announced it. Fantastic to see a focus on these areas and hope that it all goes well for London, Wales, Cornwall et al. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
