International rugby league is coming to Belle Vue on Friday.

Although this is a low ranking fixture, it's great to see some International RL coming to BV.

Anyone going ?

Yes will be going. I see Jamaica gave the Irish domestic team a bit of a shoeing over the weekend, so hoping they can play a bit on Friday.

Half a dozen here

Will be missing this as I am on holiday.

Just been reminded by the missus that she's going to be in London for the weekend - gives me the perfect opportunity to sneak down to the ground!

Got my ticket, looking forward to it!

Can you pay on the gate.?

It didn't mention if you could.
I would have thought that they would be selling tickets from the container on Dancaster Road as they do on normal matchdays.
Cant see them wanting to turn anyone away ?

you pay

Very funny Baz

In my limited experience that's not a very well used phrase.

Yes, Wales RL confirmed on twitter.

I might have to drive, where's good to park nearby?

Sugar lane, between the graveyards and a short walk, 10 mins or so, to the ground.

Was it any good?

Any Jamacan gems on display?

It was an excellent evenings entertainment. A larger crowdthan I expected (1100 announced ), really friendly atmosphere and some fierce hits and expansive rugby. Star of the show - BJBs brother, a nippy winger with a vicious handoff! No Jamaican gems - their team spoke fluent Yawksher www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/37718708

Made good metres out of defence and tackled well. Also their 17 made massive metres in the second half. If they had avoided Cobb's whistle, they would have won the game. However, the knock on from the kick off after the last score, that was not given, will have had Kear's blood pressure rising. Jamaica certainly deserved something from the game but, that decision (or lack of one) was a howler.

I think their 17 was Ross Peltier, just signed for Bulls. A big unit!

Really enjoyed the game even if the view from the east stand was so poor, Cobb seemed to do everything to help Wales win that game proving his incompetence at any level, was really surprised that a World Cup qualification game had no official time keeps and that decision was also left to Cobb and none of the touch judges were mic' up.
BJB brother wen really well and took his tries well, the 7 and 13 for Jamaica also went well(until the 13 got sin binned) 80 mins from their no9 too who did OK, for wake Walker looked good and bigger than most of his team mates, I think Kears call to rally support backfired as I think there was probably only 10 people cheering Wales, great atmosphere generated by only 1100 fans

I thought it was a 'friendly'.

Apologies I miss-read the article on Welsh RL "Wales used the match as preparation for their World Cup qualifier in Italy next week, victory in which will see them through to the 2017 tournament" but still a little pee poor not to have an official timekeeper and mic'd up lino's in an international game, friendly or not

Good to hear Walker went well . Think the lad has potential .

Agreed about the officials not being mic'd up even if it was "only" a friendly and more credit to Jamaica's efforts if there was nothing riding on the game.
Maybe the Welsh were not wanting to show their hand too much as well, still very enjoyable.
The Welsh missed a trick not having some vocal accompaniment to their National anthem.
It's a stirring Anthem when it's belted out and sung with pride and passion.
