Nations prepare for the Student World Cup
3 May 2008 | Code13 Magazine
While a lot of attention has been focused on the top echelons of rugby league and the forthcoming World Cup, the Student Rugby League World Cup is also taking place this coming June and July.
With a prediction by many of a third position finish, England will be looking to oust Australia and New Zealand from their respective favourite tags, and bring home hopefully what will be the first of two World Cup trophies.
Dates have yet to be more finalised, but it is expected that it will be an eight team competition made up of the Home Nations, Australia, New Zealand, France and one other yet to be named.
