Saw a Fuller's van yesterday in a car park and it said on the side official beer of England Golf Union....so an affiliation with rugby shouldn't be such an issue.

Golfers have a union? What do they want, longer hours, less money?

The links are a picture of a rugby shirt and beanie hat - both red and black in a similar design to the Quins shirt....e.g. quarters.

I didn't say they were next seasons shirts, I was just saying that League Express may come here and choose to find next years playing kits because they've found the word Harlequin and London Pride on the same page, throw in rugby and you've got enough to make a story. Merely a comment on the journalism and tenuous links at LE rather than things to come at Harlequins Rugby League.

I was replying to the previous post about what was on the links....I agree...this is nothing to do with London Rugby League.

I meant the article in LE that stated the club had spoken to fullers who had backed off due to the RFU. I would be keen to see who wrote the article as well......shoddy journalism.

Interestingly (or not), Richmond played the very first game under Football Association rules, against Barnes in Mortlake, in 1863. They can't have enjoyed it much, as they then became founder members of the RFU in 1871. You might not be surprised to learn it was a 0-0 draw.

The game against Barnes was played at Barn Elms playing fields, just across from the London Wetland Centre. Both teams will meet again in the new National League Two season shortly.
