Poland will host Czechia men on Sunday 26th October, 2pm Kick Off at Majowski Wembley in Kalisz.

The game will be a re-run of last year's fixture which the Czechs won 34-24.

“We're looking forward to the game on Sunday” said Poland acting coach Łukasz Łucka. "The matches against Czechia are always very beneficial for our development, and a great opportunity for new players to debut on the international level. The challenge is there, yet we hope for a good, competitive game that the fans both at the stadium and online would enjoy. Playing the game on Sunday made it impossible for our UK based coaches to attend the game so it's also a valuable experience for the domestic staff to test out their skills at this level. Kalisz is a city very welcoming to rugby league so we're hoping for a great weekend for everyone involved."

Czechia have named a young side, with several debutants to feature in a much-changed side to the teams which have played over the last two weekends in Euro D. 

“In recent years, the traditional autumn match against Poland has always been a great test for us to try out new players and a new system of play, which could be used across the entire national team in the future” added Czechia coach Tomas Adamec. 

“This year, we want to give a chance to young players who unfortunately could not play their junior match against the Norwegians earlier in the year, with several of these players being Under 18 and having only made their senior club debuts earlier this year. These players will be complemented by experienced junior representatives led by captain Marek Tejchman, who, in addition to a number of starts for the junior national team, also has several starts for the men's national team with experience against Poland at both national and club level.  After the experience of recent years, we know that we are in for a beautiful and tough match, which will definitely be an attractive spectacle for the spectators.”
