Latin Heat and Thailand Stars name squads for Rugby League International
LATIN America and Thailand have named their squads for the Sunday, June 1 rugby league international to be played at Windsor Sporting Complex, west of Sydney.
The squads reflect the growing reach of rugby league around the planet, a month after Samoa and Fiji, and Australia and New Zealand staged two entertaining Test matches watched by millions.
In what should be a tight encounter on previous form, the GYG Latin Heat will field its strongest team to date.
Having featured just three registered rugby league players against Asia Cup champions Philippines earlier this year, the Heat have named 15 registered club players in their 20-man preliminary squad to face the Thai Stars.
“That’s a combination of a number of factors, led firstly by the assistance of the NRL and RLIF in identifying Latino-heritage players,” Heat director Robert Burgin said.
“We’ve also benefitted from greater awareness in the community of the opportunities the Latin Heat provides.
“More pleasing than anything though is the number of previously unregistered Latinos that we have been able to encourage into playing weekly club fixtures. That’s what we’re all about.”
Three such players – Colombian trio Juan David Espinal, Sebastian Maya Jimenez and Diego S G Vejerano – first learnt of rugby league just six months ago.
The three train on lunchbreaks and weekends, due to being enrolled in English courses at night, and working days as a waiter, mechanic and sandwich artist
respectively.
Together the Colombian triumvirate are also key to the GYG Latin Heat’s current project to send 1000 rugby league balls and development kits to various Latin American cities.
The Thailand Stars, which beat Japan 46-10 in January, have been doing similar developmental work in their home nation, recently providing rugby league scholarships for three players to learn the game in Australia.
The Latin Heat serve as an interim presence for 24 Latin American nations from Mexico to Chile until such a time that these nations can compete on a stand-alone basis.
Aside from naming rights sponsor Guzman y Gomez Mexican Taquerias, the Latin Heat thanks Crop del Monte Coffee Specialists, Rumba Latina Entertainment, Link Australia International Student Services, Fighting for Fitness Gym and Gringo Media for their support.

Gonzalo Morro (58), Iván Ordaz (68)

Iván Ordaz 1/2, Daniel Garcia 1/1
Spain came from 10-2 down just before the hour to defeat Belgium 12-10 in the their first-ever rugby league Test encounter. The Spaniards, who have founded a six-team domestic competition this season, found themselves under pressure in the opening exchanges but their defence held out as Belgium failed to register points. The visitors then enjoyed a dominant spell, moving the ball through their three-quarters, but this time the Belgium defence proved similarly unyielding.
The deadlock was broken just after the half hour when Spain hooker Iván Ordaz landed a penalty after a shoulder charge. Just before half time, the hosts hit back, winger Idriss Tiogum on the end of a flowing move to cross in the corner for an unconverted try. Five minutes into the second period, Belgium extended their lead when stand-off Bruno Vindevolgel superbly dummied his way over, Ilias Laarchiri with the conversion.
Spain gained a second wind and, on the back of concerted attacks, Gonzalo Morro crossed to make it 10-6. Ordaz, who along with winger Daniel García led the visitor’s revival, went over ten minutes later, Garcia’s conversion proving to be the defining score.
Loose forward Steven Garofalo was a stand out for Belgium with his destructive running and impeccable tackling, team manager for the home side, Zacharia Zoubir, commenting: ”The game was really good and very competitive, we had fierce opponents. We made a lot of unnecessary mistakes in front of their line, however the team is young and we are very proud to see that the crowd liked the game.
“We are also proud of the development here in Brussels with the local club Gorillaz beating neighbours Rotterdam beforehand. This is the kind of development that we are looking for in order to learn because we are at the beginning of something great here in Western Europe.”
