Rugby league in Solomon Islands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Solomon Islands national rugby league team represents Solomon Islands in the sport of rugby league football. They are, in fact, planning a top-level tournament in 2010–11,[3] after the capital of Honiara hosts an inter-city exhibition league, the Honiara Rugby League;[4] expected in August 2009 but now it seems early 2010 will be the most convenient point for when it will be held after an uphold in the delivery of the participating teams jerseys caused delays.[5][6] They are an unaffiliated nation and were recognised by the RLIF as having official observer status in early 2009.[2][7] They are scheduled to participate in their first-ever test match against a touring New South Wales Police Team in November 2010.[1][4]
