Futtocks Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Inspired by a recent post about the Oceania v Europe match.

Futtocks Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 Are there any more videos of ROTW sides? I know there were other games.

Futtocks Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 I do remember one PR photoshoot for a ROTW match that involved a very young Alfie Langer with a Page 3 "stunna" sitting on his lap.

Yep. I think it appeared in a book around the year 2000. He was wearing a yellow jersey with loads of different coloured hoops around the middle of I remember correctly.

I think Alfie looked slightly embarrassed. Maybe the RLW staff can dig the photo out. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

JonM Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Australia beat the Rest of the World in 1957, a week after they won the World cup final. Great Britain played Rest of the World on a Monday night in October at Odsal, 2 days after beating the Aussies at the same venue in the 1960 World Cup Final. Kiwis played a rest of the world team in Narbonne on their 1985 tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derwent Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 The "Other Nationalities" team was a regular thing back in the day. I remember them being included in the county championship competition with Yorkshire, Lancashire & Cumbria once in the mid 70's. I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They drew against Yorkshire in the 1975-76 fixture, but didn't win any of their games. They won the European Championship twice in the 1950s too.

Damien Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I do think Rest of the World has more meaning and kudos than names like Exiles and Combined Nations. If we are to have such games I think we should just go with the Rest of the World name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubby Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 The ARL Kangaroos played a RoW team in 1996 I think as part of the SL War stand off. IIRC Jason Robinson and Gary Connolly turned out for the World Team?
