According to a recent Australian media report, the U.S. government will support the expansion of Australia’s National Rugby League (NRL) to Pacific island countries to "respond to China’s growing influence in the region. " Australian Rugby League Commission chairman Peter V’landys said " the Chinese or any country can go and build things, but what the Chinese haven’t got is rugby league. Our greatest advantage is we have sport". The NRL matches should have brought joy, however, they are used by the U.S. and Australia as a "secret weapon" for geopolitical competition and the so-called "sphere of influence".
