Rugby league history

This site's city note Manilla (Reserva) reflects Rugby League Project's own location text for the venue, which places it in Reserva, a real barangay of Baler, the capital of Aurora Province in the Philippines, not in Manilla, New South Wales, Australia as the name might suggest. Its single recorded rugby league fixture was Japan beating the Philippines 74-4 on 9 November 2019 in a 2019 Asia rugby league international, press-described as the first rugby league international ever played in Baler and notable as the first such match with a female touch judge, in front of 1,000 spectators.
