Grassmarket 2,757 Posted November 3, 2022 #46 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Interest in this has tailed off a bit with too many blow-out matches. However, we have the quarter finals this weekend, so hopefully a bit more drama. Friday Australia v Lebanon Saturday England v PNG New Zealand v Fiji Sunday Tonga v Samoa And we have some more exotic flowers joining the competition, with in the Women's and & in the Wheelchair RL.
