Thomas set for Test rugby return

Isn't Lebanon just a side made up of Sydney club players of Lebonese descent? the likes of Hazem El Mazri and that

Pass. You'd need to ask one of the Aussies.

All I know is that they duffed Wales up in that qualifier!

Not exactly worried, I just don't want players who could be good at union going to play league.

It's worked the other way around for a lot longer. For what it's worth, I reckon the Crusaders will get some of the union lads, but they'll be registered dual coders.
 
After a quick look at the base of all my knowledge (wikipedia), a fair few Lebanon players are in the NRL.
It says they were founded by Aussie players with Lebanese heritage, but now they're in/run by Lebanon, and have Lebanon based players along with NRL ones
 
Crusaders will take Union players before long. If they continue being successful then they will gain players going over there. Iestyn Harris has one hell of a job to sort the Wales RL side out. Lack of any real experience and quality players to work with. Andy Powell will move to RL and likely the Crusaders once his contract with Wasps is up.
