The Canada Rugby League Association rebranded Monday and announced a partnership deal with O'Neills Irish International Sports Company. Footnotes for more established sports in Canada, perhaps, but a step forward for rugby league. 🤝 #proudtoweartheleaf

Pandemic permitting, Canada's women — known as the Ravens — will be showcased later this year at the Rugby League World Cup scheduled to run from Oct. 23 to Nov. 27 in England. The good news is World Cup organizers are taking care of travel and accommodation costs.
