This resolves two issues found in secondary sources: several press and Wikipedia sources date the USA v Ireland A match to March 2011 and frame it as a Saint Patrick's Day fixture, but Rugby League Project's own primary record gives the date as 16 October 2011 -- a genuine, unresolved conflict between the primary results database and secondary sources, disclosed here rather than silently picked. Separately, this also confirms the previously-elusive second match on file: a Colonial Cup 2011 fixture, USA 18-2 Canada, played 27 August 2011, attendance 25.) |
