V'landys Invites Trump to NRL Opener in Vegas

Peter V'landys, Chairman of the Australian Rugby League Commission, has publicly invited US President Donald Trump to attend the NRL season opener in Las Vegas. V'landys extended the invitation during a segment on 'Fox & Friends', a show Trump is known to watch, emphasizing rugby league's toughness and its potential as a spectacle in the US. The Las Vegas event on March 2 will feature games between the Raiders and Warriors, as well as the Panthers and Sharks. V'landys believes Trump's attendance could provide invaluable publicity for rugby league in the US. Trump, who recently attended the NFL Super Bowl, has been using sports to bolster his public profile, fueling hopes from V'landys that he might accept the invitation. The NRL sees Trump's presence as a chance to increase American awareness of the sport significantly.
