Newcastle upon Tyne will be the centre of the rugby league world come mid-October as the city hosts four matches in the Rugby League World Cup, including the tournament opener.
The World Cup orgainsers aim for St James' Park to be full when England kick-off against a much-fancied Samoa team on Saturday October 15. Kingston Park, the home of Newcastle's rugby league and union clubs, hosts three games.
While Newcastle is no stranger to rugby league - having hosted a string of Super League Magic Weekends - you might be unfamiliar - or at least less familiar - with the game than you are with football or rugby union. That doesn't matter, the tournament organisers would still love to see you there, and the England team could do with your support for their tough opener.
