Rugby League In Wales
Rugby league is a sport played in Wales. The governing body of the game in Wales is the Wales Rugby League. There is a long but sporadic history of rugby league in Wales (). Over the decades hundreds of Welsh players have played for the leading English clubs. Consequently, the national side, nicknamed the Dragons, have often been a very strong force in the international game.
