Do you know if there is any way to watch this. Would be a huge opportunity missed if not.

Some familiar names in the USA Squad, the usuals of Joe Eichner and Ryan Burroughs are both stars. Peter Lupton has been selected, former SL player qualifying through residency. And a few other familiar names such as David Washington.

For Canada I’m not too familiar with much of the players. I do know Blake Mahovic though I watched him play for the Wolfpack a few years ago and he is quality player.

Should be a cracking game.

I think it’s being streamed. If I find a link I’ll post it here. Kick off will be a bit late for most Brits but might suit you Aussies more.

Any idea why this wasn’t played as pre NRL starter in Vegas

Probably because it’s low quality and not the NRL.

I'd be surprised if the NRL knows that RL is played in North America.

Because double headers are a terrible idea and triple headers worse.

How long does an NFL game last? I was thinking yesterday that the US is possibly the only place whereby a double-header is palatable to spectators as it’s less than a standard game of American football. Possibly?

All in probably around three hours to three and a half. Those who go seem to also value the wrap around stuff like tailgate parties etc which will add on another couple of hours.
