A GROUP of Chinese athletes is set to learn rugby league, training with NRL clubs as the game
continues to spread its wings via Nines Football. Nines is shaping as the league equivalent of T20 cricket, faster and shorter than the more traditional game and appealing to a far wider audience.
History will be made at next year’s World Nines in Samoa when a truly national Australian team will wear the green and gold. The Aussie team will include players from all six states as well as the Northern Territory in a bid to spread the game’s gospel worldwide.
