England rugby league team?

Why does England have a team in Rugby League world cup?

  • why is there an England team for the world cup and not Great Britain. is this a recent movement and will it stay permanelty or is it just a joke in terms of how International rugby league is structured. Does this mean that international fixtures with NZ/aus will now be with England?

  • Answer:

    It hasn't been confirmed as permanent yet but it will be like that for the next 3 years. It does usually split for the World Cup anyway but then gets back together after it. Now, however, it is staying as England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland

Its been done so there are more teams in the world cup, and making the world cup more competetive, otherwise instead of Scotland in the world cup we would have teams like Lebanon etc. I think it will go back to Great Britain after the world cup. After it was decided we would split off we still had Great Britain vs New Zealand test last season so im not sure but i think it will go back :)

I'm afraid England has a national team for many sports, including rugby union, football, cricket...All involved and performing at the highest levels.

At World Cup time, the Great Britiain team suddenly splits up into the four nations of GBr. It has been the same for previous World Cups too.

In 2006 after the lions tour, the RFL decided to retire the British team so that players, by popular demand, could play for England, Scotland and Wales. It is to be permanent. It is could, because now England, Scotland and Wales can be proud of there country, not the bigger Kingdom.

Who cares. If they had a Great Britain side, all the palyers would be English anyway. Having a Great Britain team belittles the Welsh and Scottish teams.

to have more teams, the england RL side is older than GB, so it is just going back to how things used to be.
