Iain Bowie, the head coach of German Exiles, is – with his assistants Kieron Billsborough, David Stones and Conrad Tetley – only three days away from another high-profile fixture for his team.
The Exiles take on a Brazilian `rep’ side on Sunday (27 June) in a curtain-raiser to the Betfred Championship fixture between Keighley Cougars and Swinton Lions.
Germany, who drew 28-28 with Royal Engineers in April, have two further games lined up, against the Prison Service RL at Sharlston, Wakefield, on Friday 10 July and, on Saturday 29 August, against a German Domestic XIII.
That last match, at Featherstone Rovers, will be played for the Annual Kaiser Cup and is supported by True Able.
