Driscoll says it’ll be a historic event when the two Pacific Rugby League sporting franchises play each other in Australia.

“And it is a really historic event and DEFAT and the Australian government will want to make this an annual event. It’s going to be a big challenge for our boys coming up against a strong team in the Hunters.”

The Silktails will meet the Burleigh Bears in its first preseason match on February 9th.
