Special travel edition - the flowering of international rugby league....

There was a time, not too long ago, when a British Army regiment playing a team of locals and ex-pats in Germany would have been considered an international; such was the paucity of rugby league played outside of the established nations.

Yet in mid-October just passed, an unprecedented weekend of international rugby league saw 12 nations play in six matches over four continents, encompassing 2013 World Cup Qualifiers in the European and Atlantic Zones, the first officially rated Celtic Test Match, a Trans-Tasman encounter and the birth of England Knights.

And many more such games have been played far and wide in the weeks before and after that including, of course, the Gillette Four Nations and a two-match series between Fiji and Papua New Guinea.

This month, Forty-20 has news and on-the-ground reports from all of that and more, as we take in New Jersey, Padova, Belgrade, Avignon and Sharlston - via Prague. We have news from Ghana, India and Montego Bay. We reflect on the Wembley double-header; Angela Powers meets injured RLIF Player of the Year Billy Slater; Andy Wilson profiles Stevo; and we visit the South Bank of the Thames for the relaunch of London Broncos.

We also take a look at how St Helens's new kit was put together and investigate how the BBC cuts will impact on local radio coverage of rugby league.

Catch up with Forty-20 - your next generation rugby league monthly.

Does anyone know if you can subscribe to the digital version and read it via kindle?

Since when can you win London Broncos?

We're not available via Kindle yet, Fungus, we've been busy trying to sort out the iPad and iPhone app which - hopefully - should be available from January An 'ordinary' digital version of the mag is available here www.exacteditions.com/exact/browse/660/1295 Incidentally, we'd like to thank everyone who has bought a copy or copies of the mag for your support. It's never easy launching a new rugby league publication, especially in the present economic climate, but the response has been great. We've tried to come up with something a little bit different to the more established RL publications and it seems that enough folk have enjoyed Forty-20 to make it a viable proposition. So once again thanks. If you've not read Forty-20 yet, why not give us a try? Issue 5 is still on sale and issue 6 is out December 13. It's not glossy, there are no full page filler pics, but there is lots of high quality reading. Tone H
