The Partisan Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 NB. Australia played NZ in the April / May ANZAC test as their only game before heading over for the 2013 RLWC.

Tommygilf Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 I suspect Oz and NZ might play eachother before heading over, but nothing officially announced yet iirc. England were due to play Fiji in Rochdale. Not sure if that has been scrapped with the tournament being moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barley Mow Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Wasn't there an announcement a few weeks ago that New Zealand are going to play Leeds just before the world cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know if they've confirmed the date for it yet but I'm sure the first discount code will be released at least a week before the tickets go on sale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Australia being going into the tournament without a game ? Maybe games against Fiji, Scotland and Italy are viewed as warm ups. Why risk injuries in pre tournament games given that schedule?

The Partisan Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 Has been some confusion apparently over the scheduling of the Lebanon v Malta game. Have been assured that it is happening mid week still (as in tonight Wednesday). Broadcast live on the Foxtel Sports streaming service KAYO.

I wonder how much overlap there will be between the Malta team that played Montenegro in Malta last month and the one playing Lebanon in Sydney. Will they essentially be two separate teams, one Europe based and one Australian based? Edited June 22 by Barley Mow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Malta RL only 2 players that played against Montenegro will play tonight, one of which is Jarrod Sammut and the other Zarrin Galea who plays local club footy in Brisbane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
