Two other internationals later on in the year that I have seen confirmation of:
Denmark v Sweden August 16, 2014
Thailand v Norway in Bangkok on October 12, 2014 *

* Note this is not the Thailand Stars. Incredibly Thailand, Italy and until recently USA have two competing governing bodies. I can't believe there can be two competing governing bodies in nations that are in the development stage.

yeah, thailand have been arguing re this for a year or so that i know about, my friend is thai so i always take note when i see they've played somewhere

The following matches have been confirmed:
Aus v NZ on Friday 2 May at Allianz
Fiji v Samoa on Saturday 3 May at Penrith

Mattpoet I got a bit bored and watched the Latin Heat v Philippines match on line again. Below are the scorers as per my watching of the game, not the official scorers. I still haven't been able to find a list of scorers anywhere. I am confident I have about 85 or 90% of the scorers correct:

Philippines Tries: Dennis Gordon 5, Will Dreves 4, Blaze Gonzales 3, Jeremiah Alimpulos 2, Steven Tolo 2, Carlo Alinboyong, James Webb, Glen Power, Jason Dreves & Scott Sandaga. Goals: Will Dreves 15/21

Although the commentators called Sheedy for a try it definitely wasn't him. He had a number of try assists.

Thanks Scooter, I appreciate the information you provide on this subject

Italy's team to play Kenya: Concetto D’Aquila, Camel El Gassaoue, Federico Re, Alfio Finocchiaro, Attilio Bonnici, Gabrio Maionchi, Matteo Fiaschi, Gianluca Genua, Simone Bianco, Alessandro Ippoliti, Cristiano Lavini, Carlo Donadio, Matteo Lombardi, Giacomo Franzoni, Fabrizio Massafra, David Zonta and Riccardo Staccone.

*N.B.: This is a team from Italy's "unofficial" federation.

Spain is set to play their first international against Belgium in Brussels on May 24. Both federations are just waiting on the approval of the RLEF.

Vanuatu are set to play the Solomon Islands in Mackay in October again this year. Hopefully Juzzy will make his debut for Vanuatu and Danger for the Solomon Islands.

they may but, i think juzzy may have his sights set on a kangaroos jersey instead

It looks like Spain will kick off their international history with two matches v Belgium in Brussels on 24 May and in Valencia on 8 June. Good to see rugby league expanding.
