Rugby League World - 07.2018

Your access all areas pass behind the scenes of the world of Rugby League. Packed with the colour and detail behind the news with views and analysis from the sport's leading writers. Essential reading for anyone who cares about Rugby League no matter where or what level it is played. From grassroots rugby to the professional elite, the biggest domestic and international clashes, we get up close and personal with star players, coaches and those who make the game tick.

*** AS the old saying goes, there's a big world out there, and the magazine has certainly lived up to its name this month. Among our interviewees are Wigan ace Sam Tomkins, who will be playing his rugby in the South of France next year, and women's star Courtney Hill, who tells us about her move from Australia to Leeds. We've got an action-packed five-page section on the Rugby League scene in the country Hill has left behind, including the thoughts of Greg Bird, the former NRL and Origin player now plying his trade at Catalans Dragons. Also featured in this issue is Sean Rutgerson, the ex-South Africa international who has succeeded Brian McDermott as head coach of the USA. ***
