It's looking like Canada will be plaing Russia at some point this year. Don't have the details yet.

What's happening with the USA spooky? Last I heard was the Yanks aren't keen on it as they have bigger fish to fry!

No idea. Will have to wait til the CRL boys return from the UK before I get any updates.

I can confirm that Canada will be playing the RAF on Sunday 17th June at Fletchers Fields in Markham, Ontario.

I should be able to confirm more international fixtures shortly.

So England will play the Exiles twice this summer (according to Sky Sports anyway). Who will be asked to coach the Exiles? One game in Yorkshire and one in Lancashire? I'd go for Headingley and Saints new ground.

Lebanon looking at playing Canada in September, after which a selected group will travel to Sydney to play alongside Australian Lebanese against Italy and a team from the Pacific Islands in October

USA 38-20 Ireland Wolfhounds

It looks like the game vs Canada isn't going ahead now, due to scheduling conflicts.

Any idea if Canada have a replacement game lined up?

With Lebanon? I guess it's good news if they are involved in some sort of tournament, although obviously not for the Canadians. A bit of a blow considering Russia also pulled out of their fixture.

As I understand it the conflict was with Canada. They had two opportunities and could only take one of them. I do know all of the upcoming Canada fixtures for 2012 but unfortunately can't share them with you guys yet - sorry! I will post them on here as soon as I get the green light.

Wales to take on France in full international in Wrexham on June 16th.

Malta are set to have a 2 game series against Denmark, the first being in Malta on 9th June 2012 and the game in denmark sometime in September/October.
The Maltese Exiles are also due to play Leeds Akkies on the 5th May 2012.

Feeling a bit deflated at the moment with the announcement that Toronto FC will play Liverpool the same day that Canada play their first game in Toronto (vs Jamaica). The fixtures had been specifically set up so that they didn't clash with any other major events. Now it will be so much harder to entice curious sports fans to our game or to get any publicity for it. The footy match is already getting ridiculous amounts of publicity. I also expect the ticket prices will be very reasonable.

We were hoping to get a decent crowd to our game. Looks unlikely now.

Couldn't you play it a day earlier?

Don't Canadians know how cr*p Liverpool are?

I think it's too late to change the date now - stadium's booked, 'season tickets' for the games have been printed etc. Friday nights are less appealing because there's the rush after work. Peopl have habit of showing up late for night games on a work day - which is fine when the game lasts 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Not so good for an 80 minute game.

Sadly not. The media frenzy has started already. They interviewed a Liverpool player on Toronto's sports radio morning show this morning. The match is 3 f'ing months away!

Maybe it would be an idea to target the local rugby (both codes) community and Canadian football clubs.

Not a friendly but there are so many threads on this board I thought I'd tag it on here.
Hungary and the Czech Republic will contest the 2012 European Bowl, the Rugby League European Federation’s third tier competition. Next year the Bowl will double as a qualifying tournament for the 2014-15 European Shield.

The RAF beat Canada A 22-16 yesterday. The Canadian lads gave them a tougher game than expected and kept them scoreless in the 2nd half. Good run out for both teams and a great experience all round.
