The premiership Magpie, a Texas native, believes the NRL have one-upped the AFL in this instance.

Cox feels there will be plenty of interest from American and ex-pat Aussies in rugby league and expects the scenes in Vegas to be “iconic”

“You’ve topped us here and hopefully we can match you at some point and play a game over here in the US,” he added.

“Allegiant Stadium where the Las Vegas Raiders play is a pretty spectacular place. It’s going to be pretty iconic scenes seeing the NRL come over here and playing in such a big stadium in front of hopefully a big crowd.

“I think people will love it.

“Rugby has really kind of taken off here in the last five to 10 years.

“Every time you ask an American of they know what AFL is, they say, ‘That’s rugby, right?’.

“So, they’ve got a bit of a better connection to the audience here at the moment. Hopefully I can be one person who tries to change that.
