The Philippine Tamaraws is the monicker for our national team in Rugby League. Rugby League is different from Rugby Union. The Volcanoes is the PH Team for rugby union. In other articles, they have a monicker under the name Philippine Carabaos
This thread is for Philippine Tamaraws and news about Philippine Rugby League.
History:
The Philippines National Rugby League (PNRL) was established in 2011 with a view of expanding rugby league further into Asia. The PNRL oversees the running of the national team, in 2011 it was announced that the Philippines would be playing their first game of rugby league at the 2012 International 9's at Cabramatta, while also being involved in other organized international rugby league tournaments in the Asia-Pacific region. The inaugural meeting of the board took place on the 11th of January 2012 in Sydney Australia, attended were Greg Cross, Michael Holt, Mark De Ubago, Erick Elefante and Rick Hartley. Their second meeting took place at the same place 5 days later on the 16th of January where Clayton Watene and Tas Bateri (RLIF International Development Officer) attended this meeting with the four other members mentioned earlier. The board will then take control of all administration, therefore will be responsible for the running of Rugby League in the Philippines and any team playing under the auspice of the PNRL.
The Tamaraws debut on Oct 21, 2012 against Thailand. It was held in Bangkok, Thailand.
The result is 0-86 in favor of Tamaraws.
Like the Azkals and Volcanoes, Tamaraws are also composed of foreign based players mostly from Australia.
