Welcome one and all to the nation of Saugeais, the site where the 9th Rugby League World Cup will take place. A new record of 40 teams have all entered in the hopes of being crowned champions of Rugby League, a title that Virabia currently holds. The Virabi, of course, have entered into this competition hoping to retain their title and number 1 ranking, but along the way there are many challenges, not just for them, but to all that participate. Could it be Sorthern Northland holding up the trophy at the end? Or maybe Chetkosk? The hosts, Saugeais? Maybe even one of the many newcomers to the World Cup. It will be wild ride over the next couple of weeks, but in the end only one will take the ultimate prize.
