Rugby League World Cup [Definition] Tri-Nations The Rugby League Tri-Nations is a relatively new concept for rugby league, though it can be seen as a logical continuation of the early world cup structure, in which the best teams in the world play in a round robin tournament leading to a final. The competition was envisaged as a celebration of rugby league, and the size of the competition was doubled with 5 additional teams qualifying for the tournament. The first Rugby League World Cup was held in France The French Republic or France (French: République française or France) is a country whose metropolitan territory is located in western Europe, and which is further made up of a collection of overseas islands and territories located in other continents.... www.wikimirror.com /Rugby_League_World_Cup

French Rugby League History Rugby league was taking up the slack, and as sports papers from the time show, there was a groundswell of enthusiasm for the game - culminating in 1939 when the national side went to St Helens and became the first French team - in any sport - to beat England on their home ground. The national team was banned from the Five Nations tournament because of violence on the pitch, and the number of clubs was falling every year. Rugby league was a professional game - players signed annual contracts with their clubs and had control over their careers. www.rl1908.com /Rugby-League-News/vichy.htm

Lebanon Cedars Rugby League The Lebanese national team is ranked highly in international rugby league due to the large number of professional players contracted to clubs in Australia. The winger from South Sydney, one of Australian rugby league’s most famous clubs, has had a frustrating time with injuries in what many accept to be the world’s toughest sport. The Lebanese national Rugby League team, the Cedars, trounced France 36-6 Saturday Nov 2nd 2002 in the sport’s first international match in the Middle East. www.geocities.com /CapitolHill/Parliament/2587/rugby.html

BBC SPORT RUGBY UNION Six Nations set for more expansion English rugby officials have mooted plans for a Six Nations Championship with 12 teams with emerging European nations forming a second division. The English Rugby Football Union believes the competition should be expanded to allow relegation and promotion between two divisions. The plan would lead to a big increase in the international demands on top players and may not get the support of the league clubs without further financial compensation. news.bbc.co.uk /sport/hi/english/rugby_union/newsid_1218000/1218395.stm

Australian Rugby League International Rugby League is firmly back on the map after 10 years in the wilderness and much of that has to do with the Tri-Nations concept and Great Britain's re-emergence as an International force. The smaller nations have to be looked after and the possible financial success of the Tri-Nations should be used to help developing nations play in second and third tier championships to help the game progress to new and unfound levels. International Rugby League is back and the format of the Tri-Nations is the main reason for that. aus.rleague.com /news/index.php?id=17302

[3] [No.240]Rugby League - the Millennium World Cup (Essay) The tournament will not be covered on Korean television, but you can follow it through the official site and others such as the World of rugby League and the Sydney Morning Herald's League section. Despite being a "professional" game, rugby League has struggled due to a lack of resources and acceptance since daring to break away from the rugby establishment. The other game is an offshoot of Union, and is called rugby League. web.skku.edu /~sktimes/technote/read.cgi?board=Essay&y_number=2&nnew=1

Australian International Now the tournament is over and the footage is destined to gather dust in the archives, maybe Sky should gift the broadcast rights to television companies in countries where League is relatively unknown in order to do their bit to promote League to a wider audience. That game yesterday was the best thing for International Rugby League in many years. The League revolution in Serbia is in its infancy and is just the start of something that we — Leaguers abroad — could mirror anywhere on the planet with a little effort, a plan of action and the support of our development committees back home. aus.rleague.com /international/news/index.php?next=10

Bring the Rugby League World Cup back! Petition Today Rugby League is growing all over the world, sadly it does this relatively on it's own with little help from the big league nations of Australia, Great Britain and New Zealand. The selfishness in Rugby League must end, enough with the focus on club competitions and competition between only the big 3 nations, we need to show our great game on the world stage, if we want to have any hope of future growth and sponsorship. Rugby League World Cup history stretches back as far as 1954 when Great Britain came from behind to beat France 16-12, even Union's World Cup only came into existance in 1987. www.petitiononline.com /rlwc1954/petition.html

Papua New Guinea national rugby league team They first entered the Rugby League World Cup for the 1985-89 competition, though it was not until 1995 that they were able to win away from home. Rugby league was first played in Papua New Guinea in the late forties; it was introduced to the nation by Australian soldiers stationed there during and after the Second World War. The national side are known as the Kumuls. www.mywiseowl.com /articles/Papua_New_Guinea_national_rugby_league_team

Rugby The loss muddies France’s hopes for the championship of the Six Nations Tournament since both England and Ireland are 2-0 after two rounds while France is 1-1 and must play tourney-favorite England in London later in the series of games. Apparently the league's plan is to not allow Uzès to be demoted no matter how bad they are all’s fair in rugby, love and war. The French television commentators covering the national team have complained that all the referees seem to be Anglophones and “why can’t there be French-speaking referees for the French team?” (The French captain has a teammate translator for discussions with the referee, a frequent occurrence in rugby.) Well, all the referees at Uzès’ level are French. www.armchairfrance.com /rugby.htm

www.playtheball.com A great camaraderie built up between the sides competing in the Emerging Nations and in each of the nations that took part there is the spark of something that feels hugely positive for the future development of the international game which must be nurtured if rugby league is to survive. When you talk to the people involved in these teams it is inspiring to know you are talking to the founding fathers of rugby league in their respective countries not just the latest in a long line of managers employed to bring some much needed success. Never mind that this was the Emerging Nations final between a side of Aussie-based Italians and a Great British amateur side that has really no right to call itself an emerging nation and who cared about the late change of venue from Rochdale. www.playtheball.com /rlwc00/features/emerging.asp

Great Britain Lions Don't restrict it to the Rugby League heartland, let it get out to the other nations who are not as familiar with the game as what we all are. Rugby League is very powerful here in NSW and also in QLD, and people who like to claim that all Australians are not interested in the League and only care about the Union, are so far from the fact it's not funny.

Wales Rugby League Emerging Nations matches could be held in regional New South Wales and Queensland, giving league-loving small towns the chance to be involved in the event and allowing crowds to be drawn to the matches that would be impossible in larger cities. Rugby League is a much more popular sport than Union in Australia, particularly in New South Wales and Queensland, so there is no reason not to be optimistic about crowd comparisons, especially for the smaller matches. World Cup 2000 runners-up New Zealand are also capable of hosting the event, with excellent sporting facilities, good sponsorship and television opportunities, a public who have proven they will support top-class rugby league, and most importantly, a competitive team. uk.rleague.com /wales/news/article.php?newsID=4725

League Unlimited - Rugby League Amongst British Rugby League’s so-called media experts there seems to be a widely accepted view that, in last years’ Ashes series, Great Britain showed that they were closing the gap with Australia and have a real chance of beating the Old Enemy in the forthcoming tri-nations tournament. It is at least encouraging that, according to this week’s League Weekly, Noble has said Australia and New Zealand are two very different sides and each will require a different tactical approach. One of Noble’s great strengths is that he is a flexible tactical thinker who has shown with Bradford that he can adapt his tactics to different fixtures and to the state of the game. www.leagueunlimited.com /article/articletemp.asp?num=6617

Russian Rugby League Russia made a remarkable and dramatic   entry to Rugby League back in 1730, when three clubs came to England eager to learn,  and  the  administration  of  the  Russian  rugby  union,  having witnessed the excitement inherent in Rugby League, switched en-bloc to the game. Now back in the fold of full international Rugby League, hopes are high that this World Cup  will  be the springboard for a revival in the Russian game. The enormous upheavals  in  Russia  have  made  it  difficult  to  make  progress in sport, but Rugby League has maintained its presence largely in Moscow and the city of Kazan. rrl.ru /bears.php

AMNRL - American National Rugby League In what must be the most historic encounter in Rugby League history between two developing nations both teams and organizations should be commended for their efforts in not only developing international Rugby League but presenting an event to rival any NRL or SLE production. The Kiwis proved why they are one of the leading forces in world Rugby League with a team composed primarily of resident players from their local Bartercard Cup competition that scored tries from all parts of the field. To further develop Rugby League at all levels in the USA, the AMNRL have partnered with Steeden, the official Rugby League ball of the Australian Rugby League. www.amnrl.com /news/2002_news.html
