I'm not on about the lesser form of the two codes.

Wales beat England for the first time in 1890 at Dewsbury.

 

Why Dewsbury (Crown Flatt)?

 

The scorer of the only point was a Cardiff man who moved north to play for Dewsbury. As an amateur, obviously.

 

The England team had 5 players from Blackheath and 2 from Richmond, and also 2 players from Bradford and 1 each from Swinton and Wakefield Trinity.

 

Please explain why this was.

BBC1 at 11.15, how rugby league turned Alfie Thomas queer.

 

He was still playing for Cardiff RU when he came out of the scrum closet.

The next year he joined Crusaders.

Bradford became Bradford Park Avenue and switched to football in 1907.

Then a section broke away and continued to play Northern Union (as RL was known until 1922). That's why they were called Bradford Northern even though they played in the south of the city.

rugby union is absolute horseshit

 

 

Always good to get a more cerebral persons view.

 

Please carry on representing RL with distinction, sir. I feel sure the code will be proud of you.

Twenty years ago when it was all about tactical kicking for touch pretty true, but not the modern game.

 

England U20's vs Italy U20's on Feb 13th at Albion's ground.

Given England have won last two world cups for age group probably fairer to send their full sized

I just wish they would make penalties worth 1 point. It annoys me having high scoring games and no tries

 

Whilst you're lounging around doing fuck all......are you getting Newcastle sorted or what?
