<br />
It will be played in Prague on the 14th July<br />
<br />
This is a real opportunity to see how much RL has grown in Hungary over the past year since the first game in 2011, and with teams from Budapest having now played several games against opposition from Serbia, both in Hungary and Serbia, the squad will go into the weekend with high hopes of claiming its first victory.<br />
<br />
Plenty of spaces up for grabs as the game will be played as a stepping stone to attaining RLEF Observer status so please come along to any training and trials - details to follow.<br />
<br />
If you fancy a weekend away, you now know that the only option is Prague on 14th July - bring the missus and convince her it is for a romantic weekend (with a 2 hr diversion to watch some rugby)<br />
<br />
All suggestions that this might be a 'revenge' mission for the Bulls are purely speculation!Magyar Bulls RLFChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05447351184013863674noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727620626510358140.post-17047488127337049982011-09-09T08:05:00.001-07:002011-09-09T08:06:48.478-07:00Name votes<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;"></span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Last Sunday, in Kecskemet, the Magyar Bulls RLFC played in their 2<sup>nd</sup> ever rugby league match – backing up after a hard fought game against the Czech Republic the previous weekend. Despite a week of disjointed preparation because of the entire forward pack being involved in the filming of Gerard Depardieu’s Asterix and its rugby scenes, rain and a potentially flooded pitch and 3 players unavailable from the previous week because of prior commitments and injury, the team was in good heart following the final run through on Margit Sziget on the Friday evening. We might not have a pitch in the city to train on but the opportunity to train overlooking a UNESCO World Heritage site certainly makes up for the inconvenience.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">Sunday morning dawned with heavy skies in Budapest but 80kms down the road in Kecskemet, the rugby gods were smiling, the sun was out, the wind was blow drying the pitch and we were set for another warm, humid game.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">For the 2<sup>nd</sup> weekend in a row, Captain Habozcki won the toss and asked the opposition to kick off to us, allowing the guys to get an early touch on the ball and settle some nerves – powerful runs from the starting pack and a more settled half-back – stand off axis, with Nunn and Jimenez reversing positions from the previous week saw some good forward movement and a completed set – better start than the previous week.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">However, the Belgrade Selection was soon to prove a very different proposal to the team from the Czech Republic – bigger, stronger, quicker and more experienced, it wasn’t long before their better understanding of the game started to show and the Bulls were struggling to get out of their half with any form of consistency. The visitors were able to shut down the hosts’ options and some very large hits, including a 3 man dump tackle on Geza Goletz started to impact on the confident start the team had made and it wasn’t long before a failure to lift out wide right saw the opposition in at the corner.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">As the first half progressed, the game started to fall into a predictable pattern – strong attacking play from both teams with the visitors able to bring their extra experience to bear in terms of both field position and points on the board. Injuries were also starting to take their toll, with Lajos Bihari coming off the interchange bench only to be sent back to the side again after 5 mins with a bllod injury and then a mix up in a 2 man tackle seeing Nunn carried from the field with a sprained ankle – leading to a little bit of disorganisation in the ranks.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Turning round 20 points down, the Bulls put in a stronger start to the 2<sup>nd</sup> half with some excellent hands releasing Franken, on debut, down the wing before a great cover tackle took him into touch on the 20m line and from the resultant scrum, Jimenez picked up a dead leg and had to come off. Down the less than 100% fit Torrance to come off the bench to try and repeat his try scoring historics of the previous week but without the same success. Through in after 15 mins of the 2<sup>nd</sup> half the fact that the scrum half, Mehdi Beneniba who had previously been enjoying another great debut was limping<span> </span>and needed to come off, the backline was looking rather unfamiliar with Andre Brand, normally a big ball carrying 2<sup>nd</sup> row standing in at stand off and Franken moving in from centre to Scrum Half with Matyas Bihari in the centres from loose forward, the wheels were starting to come off the game plan and Belgrade were happily exploiting the mis-matches.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Coming back onto the field, Nunn resumed his service at hooker and Jimenez was able to move back into scrum half which added measure of control to the game for a short while and the axis was able to combine brilliantly with Brand at 6 to free Franken on a great burst through the midfield and to within 2ms of the opposition line before over-excitement at the play led to a knock on and turn over for the Serbs to relieve the pressure on their line. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">With 5 mins to play, the referee was forced to call the Captains together to impose a certain degree of discipline on the field as frustrations on both sides were starting to boil over – both teams were starting to tire leading to more handling errors which only served to raise the temperature a little. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Fittingly, on the final whistle, Belgrade were able to cross the whitewash and bring up the forty point margin before their final conversion took them out to 44-0.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Despite the final score, the team can take some real pride from the performance that was put in on Sunday – the back 3 of Zubornyak, Sciotti and Szalontani dealt very well with the kicks coming their way and made some great cover tackles in defence, whilst the new midfield pairing of Harangozo and Franken (little and large) showed their ball carrying abilities and really looked to exploit the chances that came their way. Jimenez and Benaniba added some much needed dynamism to the half back axis whilst the pack performed admirably against a bigger, more experienced and very well drilled unit. Those who came off the bench all played a major part in the team performance, spelling the starting team and filling in, into unfamiliar roles as the injuries too their toll.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">After the game, a series of short presentations saw the Man of Match award go to Matyas Bihari for the 2<sup>nd</sup> game in a row – a real boost of confidence to an 18 year old who surely has a great future in front of him and will be a pillar of Hungarian Rugby League for many years to come.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">After 2 games on the bounce, the team have earnt a 2 month rest before the proposed re-match vs. the Czech Republic in Prague at the end of September – an excuse for a mini-tour and a bonding session before the end of the league session and the start of the Hungarian Rugby Union Premiership which will see those who have played for Bulls, demonstrating to the rest of Hungarian rugby how beneficial the odd game of League can be for their skills development, although I suspect some people might forget to let go of the ball in the tackle, but I am sure the game can live with that.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">As a side note, the Bulls did win the post match boat race for the 2<sup>nd</sup> week in a row, proving that not all the training the team have put in over the summer has been for nothing.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">After what has been, despite results, a great debut season for the team, the Bulls have proven that there is an appetite for RL in Hungary and the team has a great future with some players certainly looking to be fixtures for many years to come – watch this space, it might be a little too early for the World Cup in 2013, but 2017 might be a goal – if the RFL open it up to emerging nations as well, we wait to see.<o:p></o:p></div><br />

There was nothing between the sides in the first half, the Czech Republic’s ability to play out their sets and tenacity in defence when defending their own line the ultimate difference.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Czech scrum half Victor Leeuw led the scoring honours with a hat trick but it was the pace and confidence of two-try visiting full back Jan Buben that took the eye. Czech player/coach Andrew Mulhall opened the scoring in the sixth minute with a try from dummy half, close in, Buben converting.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Leeuw claimed his first soon after, on the end of a fine back line move and Buben’s thrilling 80 metre solo run built a seemingly comfortable 14-0 lead. But the Hungarians found their feet and staged an excellent recovery in the lead up to half time. An expansive move across the three quarters on the half hour uncovered Scott Torrance and he went over in the corner and added a great touchline conversion. Just before the break skipper Zsolt Haboczki powered his way over and again Torrance goaled to make it 14-12.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Czech captain Petr Sedina went in from acting half back six minutes into the second half, Buben goaling and a clever grubber on the last tackle by David Dolak found his half back partner Leeuw who scored as the visitors regained control. Buben’s second was another long range kick return, which he added the extras to and ten minutes from time a 50 metre jinking run from Leeuw completed his treble.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Twice during the second period the Czech’s held out consecutive sets on their own line after conceding penalties as the Hungarians gained in confidence. That was rewarded five minutes from the end when Phil Angel crossed for the hosts.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />On receiving the trophy, Czech captain Sedina said, “It was a great team effort, the guys exceeded my expectations.”<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Hungary player/coach Adam Nunn was hugely satisfied with the display of his new charges. “The match was a great inauguration for the Hungarian players and I know that my boys are already looking forward to a return match with the Czechs.” </div><div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">HUNGARY XIII</strong>Imre Szalontani, Federico Sciotti, Gergio Zobornyak, Laszlo Marangozo, Scott Torrance, Adam Nunn, Peter Fustos, Lajos Bihari, Joel Jiminez, Zsolt Haboczki (C), Geza Goletz, Andre Brand, Matyas Bihari.

The match was an opportunity to showcase the hard work that those selected to represent Hungary had put in since the end of the Union season and with only 2 players in the match day 17 having played a competitive League match before, it was due to be a challenge.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Pre-game preparation had not been ideal with key members of the squad missing due a number of varying commitments including filming Asterix and Obelix, a Guinness Rugby World cup commercial, the closure of the Budapest Exiles training pitch and torrential rain but the squad were in good spirits and confident of giving a good account of themselves. The commitment to the cause had been shown by the arrival of Luca Tramontin who had flown in from Italy, keen to take up the chance of playing for Hungary.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">However, despite a major downpour on the Saturday morning, the pitch was in great shape, the anthems were played and the spectators treated to a great game of rugby league, prompting much discussion about the rules and regulations of this new code. During several passages of intense tackling, seasoned rugby fans were heard to comment that it certainly looked a lot more brutal than rugby union, with one girlfriend unable to look each time her boyfriend took contact with 3 players on top of him.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Habóczki Zsolt, the newly appointed skipper won the toss and elected to ask the visitors to kick off to give the Bulls the first chance to make some impact with the ball. The game was played in great spirit from the first minute and the Czech team were able to exploit some tactical naivety from the hosts to spring out to a 10-0 lead after about 15 mins as the result of some poor defending round the ruck and players making simple mistakes that led to sets not being completed. Knock ons and kicking on the 1<sup>st</sup> tackle were all part of the first 20 mins play but the Bulls were learning on the job and after things had settled down after a frenetic first 20 mins, the team started to play some good and fluent rugby. <o:p></o:p></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

The Czechs play Hungary XIII on Hungarian soil, just outside the capital Budapest, on 23 July. The move can be seen as a sign of the sport\\\'s gradual entrenchment in Europe, as nations are more able to find a suitable competitive level due to greater choice of opponents and improving standards among locals. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The CZRLA, which launched an expanded Czech Super League in 2011, has focused their effort on the cultivation of young Czech rugby league-only players who play for domestic clubs, and their entry into the Bowl provides them with the opportunity to give the national team adequate preparation. For the Magyar Bulls, the Bowl will be their first taste of competitive rugby league, from which they, and the RLEF, wil</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">l be able to gauge how best to approach further development</span><br />
