Canadian Rugby League

[Sharky Pete]

The Canada Wolverines have announced their home and Colonial Cup schedule for 2013(there maybe an opening for some more away games though I would be surprised...). The team has been rapidly moving up the world rankings, and though they will miss out on this years RLWC, they are attempting to get an automatic spot for the 2017 competiition by continuing their ascent of the RLIF rankings. The team moved all the way up to 18th last year which is pretty good for a side that only restarted in 2010, and this years schedule affords some oppourtunites to move up several more spots, though is quite local with the exception of Norway's visit the four other games are against Canada's geographic rivals.

4th Colonial Cup - Game 2
15:00 - Saturday August 24th 2013
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

According to the USARL website, the USARL Championship Final will ALSO take place in Philadelphia, on the SAME DAY and SAME TIME according to the host, the Philadelphia Fight Rugby League Club (http://www.fightrugby.com/schedule) and at 7 PM according to the USARL website (http://www.usarugbyleague.com/schedule)!

If this schedule is correct, this would mean that the USA Tomahawks vs Canada Wolverines game would COLLIDE with the USARL Championship Final game at exactly the same date & time in Philadelphia, PA.

Now, it would be great if both games were to be played on the same day in the same city, but hopefully spaced out by at least 4-5 hours. That way, Rugby League fans, like myself could attend both games. I just hope there is a mistake in the schedule somewhere in here, since the USARL is a competing Rugby League organization to the AMNRL (which is currently responsible for the USA Tomahawks national team).
