The Rugby League European Federation (RLEF) have announced that the sport is developing in Norway with news that the first bespoke Rugby League club has been formed in the country.

The RLEF say Lillestrom Lions RLK has been created to form part of a four team domestic competition in 2010.

Look, I dont follow the complete and utter bullsh*t posed on forums by over excited kids who think the game is played where it truly isn't.

I think you're just about right with what you have posted.


Outside of England and France, you are only JUST making the cut though.

I'd also say that in the countries you haven't listed, not clubs exist.

Thanks for your assistance guys!

Norway: new kid on the block
I would feel a sense of Deja Vu!

A couple of OZ/NZ expat (they've pulled some blonde chicks and ended up being pulled themselves -lol - I'm only jealous),

so a couple of OZ/NZ mixing with a few locals (playing RU, since RU seem much better at development than us), and trying to from an orgnisation:

the proof of the pudding...

we shall see in a couple of years if:
1-there is a sustainable domestic comp: so far no emerging nation -except Catalunya- have achieved this in the RFL/RLEF era
2-there is a significant junior development programme.

Cheers

when did serbia start thier comp?

Rugby league started in Serbia in the 1950's. The Serbian league in it's present guise is about eight years old.
