Aw nah, barely did anything. This tourneys all you, man. Keep up the good work.

Ok, there is a lack of league sign-ups going on, and I have a bit of a thirst for rugby atm, would anyone be interested in reviving a short mini-union tournament along the lines of the Zackendal Challenge Cup which took place a little while back now, thread here for those interested in the format. I would be willing to host, but wouldn't be able to for a couple of weeks.

I'd be willing to get involved with some rugby stuff.

[Neu Engollon]

I am always down for some rugby.

[Apox]

Hokay, so if we're re-running the Zackendel Challenge Cup, that's 4 out of 6 spots filled with Neu Engollon, The Licentian Isles and Darmen. I'll reserve one spot for Cy should he return as it's his country sponsoring the tournament, meaning at the moment there is only one spot left.

[Paradystopia]

Zackendel Cup, you say?

As previous runner-up, I'd be happy to fill a slot

With the Rugby League World Cup about to kick off, Darmen would like to schedule two friendlies, one for the mid-Cup break and one for after the final.

Wha? Where did you pull this post from? There has been a second Zackendel Challenge Cup since then, with Cyborg Holland taking the Cup and Neu Engollon taking second place. Let's focus on the RUWC 21 now...and the third ZCC later.

[Darmen]

Darmen would like a friendly in the League code in preparation for the next World Cup. The match will be played at Wolves Park in Liverpool.

[The Kiaser Colonies]

Carrying on from the discussion in the other thread, the long since former champions would be interested in playing a few test matches against anyone.

[Lisander]

Just following the flow. From the other topic we were discussing Lisander Tests against Elejamie and Neu Engollon. These ones will be added to the ones two posts above, delayed by lack of a scorinator. I'd like to ask Mattijana, Savojarna, Neu Engollon and Elejamie to confirm, via TG, if they're still up to tests in June 14, 17, 21 and 24), and send their stadia.

In fact, I wanted proven impartiality, but to avoid further delays, I'll scorinate Lisander vs. Alice Bay myself. RP to come.

Or slow your roll, cowboy, and someone else can score it. Like me. I would be interested in the 14th or 17th, participating. I will be out of town then, so I can't do any scorinating for them, but I can scorinate the 21st or 24th matches.

[Lisander]

Or slow your roll, cowboy, and someone else can score it.

Maximum: 8.31 (The Fair Republic)
Lisander: 3.73, +3
Alice Bay (plays at home): 3.20, +1

I'm currently working in some BBCode for this game. If anyone can scorinate this and send for me via TG before 4am UTC, I'll be grateful. Please include a local duo of Referee/TMO, so I can use it in my RP.

Thanks in advance.

Alice Bay 12–23 Lisander @ Alice Bay home pitch

Officiating (Taken from the NSRB sanctioned RUWC 25 pool)

Name: Joaquín Santa Cruz
National Union: Elejamian Rugby Federation (ERF - Elejamie)
Role: TMO
Extra Information: Another official with years of experience, having been a television match official for over ten years. Although he talks quickly (although not too quickly so you don't understand him) and he would sometimes slip into Spanish, he is very eagle eyed and would make judgements on the second or third viewing. Also, "Santa Cruz" is his surname so be sure to include both words; don't refer to him as "Santa" or "Cruz" as that would be incorrect.

Name: Katarina Mikelova
National Union: MattijanaRugbiBand (MRB - Mattijana)
Role: Referee/ touch judge
Extra Information:
One of the growing number of female referees in Mattijanan rugby, Mikelova has impressed many sceptics during her first 10 years of experience. She has a more serious approach to people-skills, but is often able to empathise with players. Her main criticism is her reluctance to hand out yellow cards for repeat offenders, often preferring to treat each incident separately.
Her application of the rules is less consistent than Djanić, but is percieved to be improving with experience. All parts of the game are well-officiated with the possible exception of the scrum, where unfair feeds and dodgy pushing often go unpunished.
She speaks the recquired levels of Mattijanan, English and French.

Name: Kazimierz Grzywacz
National union: Alpine Rugby Union (Union of Socialist Alpine Republics)
Role: Referee/Touch Judge
Extra Information: 39 years old. Speaks Polish, German and English. The best referee from Prusy Krolewskie. But if a player argues with him, he can easily be influenced.

Name: Erhard DeBoule
National union: Alpen Valley Rugby Union (Neu Engollon)
Role: Referee/Touch judge
Extra information: Erhard is known as a tough sir, and will not tolerate shenanigans on the pitch, especially when it's liable to cause injury. He is unflinchingly fair and unbiased, except when it comes to the neighboring Austrakians. Speaks Frandit, English, German and French.

LISANDER KEEPS THE HEGEMONY IN THE PRINCESS CUP!
Liz Porter, to therugbyzone.ls

Filipe Sarto (pictured with the ball) made his international debut.

Despite the many efforts of ABRU, with a massive advertisement for the game, it was not yet this time that the Irises were defeated. Crux's last win is now four years away. Since then, the two unions have become professionalised and have been reaping the fruits of this professionalisation. But today's 23-12 made it clear that the home team is still walking slowly.

Proof of this is the number of silly penalties that Crux committed. The referee Erhard de Boule was very active during the match, of which fortunately maintained control without any major incidents. Good for Daniel Alfyn, who leaves the match with a 100% scoring record. Kevin Armada, complaining of thigh pains, did not have to kick a ball. Is the 30-year-old Fly-Half already on his way to retirement? On the other hand of history, today we had the international debut of Filipe Sarto in the Irises. Guilherme Morian asked not to play on paternity leave (Welcome, little Léa!) And the position justfound the 24-year-old Wing, who made a great URSA Top 14 for St. Helen's.

The two teams meet again on the second leg in late October when Alice Bay heads north, and should try again to break the series of defeats. The next game of Crux will be a friendly against the Lisanderian Barbarians in Cape Orion, while the Irises follow with their tour and will face Elejamie, 11th in the NSRB Union Rankings.
