Alice Springs
Rugby League has been a part of the local sporting scene since 1963 . The Australian Rugby League has held a number of pre-season games in Alice Springs , at ANZAC Oval . The local competition is the Central Australian Rugby Football League , and sanctions both Junior and Senior Rugby League matches . The season usually kicks off around March / April and runs through to Late August . There are 4 senior teams in Alice Springs ; Wests , Memo , United and Vikings . Matches are held during the winter months at ANZAC oval on Saturday afternoons .
Rhode Island
Rhode Island is also home to the headquarters of the governing body for youth rugby league in the United States , the American Youth Rugby League Association or AYRLA . The AYRLA has started the first - ever Rugby League youth competition in Providence Middle Schools , a program at the RI Training School , in addition to starting the first High School Competition in the USA in Providence Public High School .
Penn State Nittany Lions football
The first recorded game occurred on November 12 , 1881 , when Penn State traveled to Lewisburg , Pennsylvania to play Bucknell , known until 1886 as the University of Lewisburg . Penn State won 9 -- 0 , which was nine goals to none . At the time , this was really a game of `` American rugby . '' The father of American football , Walter Camp , did not develop the `` scrimmage '' , the `` first down '' and the `` gridiron '' ( yard markings ) until 1882 . Although this game was reported in two State College newspapers and the Mirror ( University of Lewisburg campus newspaper ) , Bucknell denies that this game ever happened . Penn State did not field teams from 1882 through 1886 .
Wembley Stadium
The 89,019 crowd for the New Zealand versus Argentina game set a new record attendance for a Rugby World Cup game . The Ireland versus Romania match one week later improved this record again to 89,267 . Although the 90,000 seat Wembley was the largest stadium used during the 2015 Rugby World Cup , the World Cup Final was held at the 82,000 seat Twickenham Stadium , the traditional home of the tournament 's host , England 's Rugby Football Union .
State of Origin series
By the 1970s the prestige of interstate matches had been seriously downgraded . Matches were played mid-week , so as not to interfere with the Sydney club competition , and the small crowds in New South Wales were hosted at suburban grounds . Interstate football reached its nadir in 1977 when the New South Wales Rugby Football League ( NSWRFL ) declined to host the Queensland team , and both interstate games were played in Queensland .
State of Origin series
After Queensland had won the 1987 series 2 -- 1 , a fourth game was played at Long Beach , California to showcase rugby league to the American public .
2018 Commonwealth Games
The program was broadly similar to that of the 2014 Commonwealth Games , with the major changes being the dropping of judo , the reintroduction of basketball , the debut of women 's rugby sevens and beach volleyball .

State of Origin series
The interstate series was dominated by New South Wales , apart from a golden period for Queensland in the 1920s . From 1922 to 1925 Queensland defeated New South Wales 11 times in 12 matches . At the end of the 1925 season a Kangaroo team was to be picked for touring Great Britain . Instead of announcing an Australian team dominated by Queenslanders , the Australian Rugby League Board of Control informed the media that the Rugby Football League had decided that the Kiwis would provide stronger opposition , and that there would be no Australian tour . The period spanning 1922 to 1929 saw no Australian team play in Great Britain , the only such hiatus outside the two World Wars .
Indigenous Australians
Aboriginal Australia has since been represented by various sporting teams , including the Indigenous All - Stars , Flying Boomerangs , the Indigenous Team of the Century ( Australian rules football ) , Indigenous All Stars ( rugby league ) and the Murri Rugby League Team .

My searches so far just confirm it sometimes uses bawdy lyrics ( that are repeated ad infinitum ) , that it 's a `` football song '' or a `` rugby song '' and so on , but I have yet to see any info about who first wrote the words and when , and what tune they used . Has the tune changed , or is it sung to different tunes in different places ? Was it really set to the tune of Advance Australia Fair , or did that just sort of evolve antipodistically ? Most importantly , did it predate Advance Australia Fair ( 1878 ) , and is it even remotely possible the tune of our hallowed national anthem is based on a pre-existing bawdy rugby song from God - knows - where ? -- ♬ Jack of Oz ♬ 00 : 33 , 7 July 2012 ( UTC )

Stewie Griffin
Stewie 's head has the shape of a rugby ball . In the episode `` Stuck Together , Torn Apart '' , a cutaway shows Stewie 's head to be normally shaped , until he hits it on the ceiling while bouncing on the bed , and it is elongated into the familiar shape . Flashbacks in `` Chitty Chitty Death Bang '' , however , show his head was already shaped like a football when he was born .
State of Origin series
The New South Wales dominance of interstate football increased after 1956 when gaming machines were legalised for all registered clubs in New South Wales . This provided New South Wales football clubs with a revenue source unmatched by Queensland clubs . From this time on an increasing number of Queensland players moved to the much stronger Sydney competition , becoming ineligible for Queensland state selection . Paul Hogan famously told a Queensland Rugby League gathering in 1977 that `` every time Queensland produces a good footballer , he finishes up being processed through a New South Wales poker machine .

American football
The positions specific to punt plays are the punter ( P ) , long snapper , upback and gunner . The long snapper snaps the football directly to the punter , who then drops and kicks it before it hits the ground . Gunners line up split outside the line and race down the field , aiming to tackle the punt returner ( PR ) -- the player that catches the punt . Upbacks line up a short distance behind the line of scrimmage , providing additional protection to the punter .
Acronym
Many aspects of academics in Korea follow similar acronym patterns as Chinese , owing to the languages ' commonalities , like using the word for `` big '' or `` great '' i.e. dae ( 대 ) , to refer to universities ( 대학 ; daehak , literally `` great learning '' although `` big school '' is an acceptable alternate ) . They can be interpreted similar to American university appellations , such as `` UPenn '' or `` Texas Tech . ''

Queensland rugby league team won seven of those matches , leading to accusations of bias and match - fixing .

Queenslanders , on the other hand , were generally of the view that Sydney referees were no more to be relied on to give unbiased rulings in the games they controlled .
