Wales steal hearts of Rugby League World Cup fans after two gutsy performances

Wales have won both of their games at the Rugby League World Cup. The team has a lot of players playing in the British Championship or League One. They have shown a never-say-die attitude and togetherness. Their performances have got the tiny nation talking about rugby league again. They play Papua New Guinea in Doncaster next Monday evening. North Wales Crusaders are aiming to reach the quarter-finals of league one in 2022. It could be the next Jonathan Davies or Elliot Kear. If they do, they could play for Wales. John Kear is the coach of the Dragons.
