We review the evidence that detectable fluxes of X-rays are produced by inverse Compton scattering of nuclear photons with the relativistic electrons in the radio lobes of strong FRII radio galaxies within the FRII-RL quasar unification scheme. We report here on the possible detection of this effect in two steep spectrum RL quasars. This may have important implications on the physics and evolution of powerful radio galaxies.
