South Wales Scorpions Rugby League Club have invited Australian Rugby League legend Brad Fittler to a game after his comments on Australia's "Footy Show" where he believed Swansea City was in Scotland.
The remark was made to Fulham and Australia goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer who was a guest on the show.
In last week's edition of the Australian Rugby League chat show, which is presented in a similar style to S4C's "Jonathan", Fittler said: "For the first time ever a Scottish team is in there next year isn't it? There's a team that's come up, three teams come up?"
After Schwarzer pointed out that Swansea City was in Wales, Fittler was congratulated on his research from host Paul Vautin before the chat moved on. At the end of the show a speech bubble saying "Where's Wales?" was printed above Fittler's head, and that's something that he should know as he actually played a Rugby League match in Wales back in 1994 when the Welsh faced Australia at the old Ninian Park ground in Cardiff.
Now South Wales Scorpions, whose home ground is in Neath, less than 8 miles (around 12km) from the Liberty Stadium where Premier League football will be played in Wales for the first time ever from this August, have offered to show Fittler around the area if he's able to make it to a Scorpions match.
"We did have a bit of a laugh when we saw that comment," said Scorpions' chairman Phil Davies. "A lot of our players are big fans of The Footy Show. We get it sent over from Australia and we watch it on the bus on our long journeys to away matches.
"If Brad is in Wales, he will be very welcome at a South Wales Scorpions match. We play most of our home games just a few minutes away from Swansea City's ground and we can show him around there too. We'll also let him know a few differences between Wales and Scotland too if he wants."
South Wales Scorpions are only in their second season as a club. They play in the Co-operative Championship 1 league and reached the play-offs in their very first season, fielding 15 players who went on to play for Wales. They have also helped to develop young stars for Super League's Crusaders while one of their few overseas players last year was Liam Roach, son of the famous former Australian international prop Steve "Blocker" Roach.
"We're building all the time as a club," Davies added. "We did well to reach the play-offs last year but we've found this season a bit tougher. The teams all know who we are now and which players to watch out for. But we've eight games left, four at home and we're going to do our best to make a push for the play-offs again this year."
South Wales Scorpions' next game is away from Neath. They have a final game on the road in Caerphilly on Sunday 26th June where they host Keighley Cougars. Kick-off is 3pm and tickets can be bought by going to www.scorpionsrl.com.
