Confirmed - Tony Smith New Great Britian Head Coach

We all knew Tony Smith was going to be coach of GB, but it has now been confirmed by the RLF. Many fans wanted Smith out, but not to be our national coach. Tony Smith said in a official press confrence:

"I have thoroughly enjoyed my four seasons at Leeds and am proud of what I have achieved there.

"Fans of the club can rest assured that I will continue to give my all for the club until the end of the season, whilst at the same time starting with the Great Britain set-up."

Only time will tell if Tony Smith will give his all to the Rhinos untill the end of the season.

Smith's first big challenge will come in the autumn when Britain take on New Zealand in a three-match Test Series on home soil before taking charge of England for the 2008 World Cup in Australia.

You may have noticed we have not yet posted the match report for the Harlequins RL game on Friday. We will add this to the website for 6pm tonight. (26th March)

Next Game: Leeds Rhinos V Workington Town

Competition: Carnegie Challenge Cup

KO: Friday 30th March, 8pm - Headingley Carnegie Stadium
