Rugby league history

One of the oldest football grounds still in use anywhere, and the long-time home of Bohemian FC and, for decades, the Republic of Ireland national soccer team, Dalymount Park hosted a single rugby league international: Ireland lost 18-26 to France on 1 November 2003 in the 2003 European Nations Cup, in front of 1,082 spectators, a figure confirmed identically on both Rugby League Project and Wikipedia's Ireland results records.
