TOMORROW’s Nines tournaments in Dublin, Ireland and Naples, Florida, have announced their respective draws.
On the back of a successful Women’s Super League Nines a fortnight ago, events on either side of the Atlantic will continue the ascent of rugby league’s abbreviated form.
In both cases, the tournaments mark the beginning of the domestic 13-a-side seasons. In Ireland, teams from all over the country will converge on Terenure Rugby Club while in America the USARL South sides will be joined by invitational teams at the plush new Paradise Sports Complex.
The winners of both the men’s and women’s divisions in Naples have been invited to the 2023 London Nines. All times are local.
