Jughead Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Completely unrelated to Milton Jones but every time I see a new country taking up the game or I read about the game being played in places like Nigeria, Brazil and Jamaica, it baffles me that the global reach for the game is what it is. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbrian Fanatic Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Me and a mate went to visit a friend in Washington DC a few years ago and ended up playing touch rugby on a Saturday morning close to the Washington monument.

Most Americans I've met think I'm Scottish, my mates from London but he likes to use Cumbrian phrases (mainly to confuse other Londoners) so they might have thought he was an Aussie.

BJW Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 In the 1990s London Broncos shirts on sale in Windsor as they had the word LONDON on them and most tourists hadn't a clue who they were! Oh and vintage RL shirts on sale at a clothes shop in Slough market. Caribbean gent who ran it again had no idea what they were, he just liked the design!

Jughead Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 The Challenge Cup early rounds always shows the coverage of Rugby League. We could have games in Bedford, Brentwood, Penryn, Hammersmith, Pontypridd, Aldershot and Jarrow in the opening couple of rounds in 2023. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
