I googled around and found a Padua team connected with Rugby League,
but it was an Australian one.
If you look at the links, there is a connection to St. Helens,
in the 80s, with Paul Vautin.
Couldn't find anything about the 60s. Don't know if this is any help?

And here is a link about Padua, Italy, can't see any connection
to Rugby League though, only Rugby Union.

Gangad, why don't you enquire on the Saints Heritage website? See http://www.saints.or...id=10&num=15187 and navigate from there or try http://www.redvee.net/forums/index.php, join the forum and ask there?

this is from the eccleston lions website
Nevertheless, the amateurs' performance augured well for their clash with the Italian tourists the following week. Padua - Italy's rugby idols - reeled and slithered to defeat in the rain at Knowsley Road on Tuesday, August 30th 1960, in the opening game of their S.W. Lancashire tour, and were beaten 24-7 by the St Helens and District League Champions.
