An idle thought - Pub quiz questions where RL could be mentioned.

I came up with:

- Which sports team was given the nickname 'Les Diables Rouges' ('The Red Devils') when they toured France in the 1930s?
- List as many codes of football as you can.
- Which sport was banned by the French Vichy Government during World War II and had all its assets given to another sport?
- Cec Thomson was the first black person ever to manage a Great Britain sporting team. What sport was it?
- In 1994, which sport had its playing ban lifted by the British Armed Forces?
- Hull Football Club plays which sport?
- Who won the first Rugby World Cup in 1954?

Any others?

A mate of mine always answers 1953 if the question of when the first rugby World Cup was arises.

In what sport were GB crowned World Champions in 1954, 1960 and 1972?
RL was born in which Huddersfield hotel?

Who was the first British player to sign for an ARL club after the international transfer ban was lifted in 1984 and which club did he sign for?

Crikey - I doubt most RL fans would know that, let alone your average pub quizzer.
