Trying to introduce the sport to a country on rugby league's further frontiers isn't easy.
For the game to survive, let alone grow, it takes uncommon dedication and zeal, a willingness to keep plugging away again and again, no matter what.
And just like a Clint Eastwood western, life on the frontier can be rough. For proof of that, look no further than when Cameroon made their international debut in 2019, where they had to travel eight days by bus to Lagos, Nigeria, for a match.
