South Africa claimed the Warsaw Airlift Cup, defeating Poland XIII 38-16 at Southport Tigers in Queensland, Australia, winger Byron Hutchinson with a try and five goals. Rhinos head coach Darryl Fisher commented: “We are really happy how the squad is progressing, in both camps this year the attitude of the squad has been exceptional. The game against Poland was a very physical and competitive contest and the side showed glimpses of their potential. With the depth we have built within the squad throughout 2022, we are hoping to see the side continue to improve next year.” Captain Shane Gillham added: “I feel that we have developed a base to be able to inspire South Africans to support rugby league. We are going to build the SARL for a long and prosperous future with development in the country as well as pushing players to aspire for NRL ambitions. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us.”
