The Wolves will play the Lycans (Grey Wolves) in a repeat of the 2021 Lebanon RL Grand Final at the Nejmeh Stadium, West Beirut tonight, Friday (kick off 9.45pm, local time).

Wolves won the decider 26-18 last season and are looking to retain their trophy. Both sides contain players included in Michael Cheika’s Cedars World Cup train on squad.

Rudy Hachache, Wolves RLFC head coach, commented: “It’s been a long and tough season with most of our core players either leaving the country or injured, but we managed to make it to the final after a physical semi against a determined Tripoli side. We have a lot of young players ready to step up. Our training this week has gone up a level and I’m confident that if we stick to our game plan we can retain the title.”

Grey Wolves RLFC team manager, Khalil Azar, noted: “We are meeting Wolves again and this year we feel we are better prepared. We believe have the upper hand after the regular season and it's payback time. This is a tremendous opportunity for some of our players to put their names forward for World Cup inclusion, and this is a fantastic opportunity for them to impress.”
