The Macedonian Rugby League team have their sights set on the 2025 Rugby League World Cup and they’ve got an NRL premiership-winning coach and captain on board to guide them.
Of course, there’s still a couple of obstacles to tackle before the World Cup is in reach, but the Macedonian Lions took a major step last weekend when they played their first-ever game.
The Lions took on Central Coast’s Tall Timbers at Leichhardt Oval last Sunday. They lost by a penalty goal, much to the dismay of assistant coach Paul Gallen.
