Top International Rugby League Matches From 1950 to 1982
by
Paul M Williams
In 1951, France toured Australasia for the first time led by their legendary fullback Puig Aubert. Their flamboyant style of rugby attracted large crowds and the first Test match was the first "all ticket" international to be staged at the Sydney Cricket Ground with a crowd of over 60,000. It took place on 11th June 1951 at the Sydney Cricket Ground and the score was Australia 15 v France 26. The first Rugby League World Cup was organized by the French RL under Paul Barriere and took place in France in 1954.

Rugby League or Rugby Union
by
John Casson
Stemming from the 19th century, rugby was born at a boarding school in the town of Rugby, Warwickshire. Yet since around the same time a split was made in allegiances between what is now called rugby league and rugby union. While both games share the same origin they are vastly different in how they are played.

Rugby League - Four Nations - Does England Have a Chance This Time?
by
Matthew Severs
Well the squad for the upcoming 4 nations rugby league tournament has been announced and it has to be said that England coach Tony Smith has made some pretty bold and brave decisions in selecting his squad for this tournament. Personally I think he is right in what he has done as otherwise we would have had the same problems that the squad had in the last disastrous and quite frankly embarrassing world cup.
