My history be out here. But wasn't rugby league first played in treviso in the 50s but due to lack of support failed and the clubs turned to union? Or have I got that wrong?

It was played in Italy for about 10 years back then, but skulduggery from well-connected people in another sport* made sure RL didn't get government recognition, so players couldn't get insurance and the whole thing withered away. That, plus the usual threat of life bans for code-switchers.

*bet you can't guess which sport.

Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Could you imagine the rivalry between Russia and Ukraine or Serbia and Kosovo?

Would make the “Ashes” rivalry look like a village fete.

Them two games would be worth watching in any sport.

Greece v Turkey would be a tasty fixture too.

Absolutely!!! Like I said an instant rivalry in which RL could be built around 👍

On a serious note though RL and these fixtures could be used to replace war and tension like between rival tribes in PNG.
