Two Days of Rugby League At The Racecourse

International Students Rugby League 4 Nations tournament reaches its climax at Glyndwr Uni Racecourse today – Scotland v Ireland at 5pm and the title decider between Wales & England KO at 7pm.

Both Wales and England have given strong and impressive performances over the week and the grand finale should prove a high scoring demonstration of excellent rugby league. North Wales Crusaders player Owain Griffiths has been playing well for Wales and scored a few tries.

Also, on Saturday, there is the NW Crusaders U18s at Queensway (11.30 KO I think) followed by Wales full international side v France at Glyndwr Uni Racecourse at 2.30pm

France are rebuilding their side since their disappointment while Wales have been hit with injuries and retirements and are also unable to call on six key international players who currently play their club Rugby League in Australia.

But Wales will have experience in the side, no more so than Jordan James who will win his 25th cap on Saturday cementing his status as third place in the Wales appearance charts and one behind legend of the past Jim Sullivan.

The Wales full international squad for the France match has potentially 4 NW Crusaders players in the lineup! Christiaan Roets, Owain Brown, Iwan Brown & Kris Wilkes.
