Title: Post Season Internationals
chriswalkerbush - September 9, 2004 02:18 PM (GMT)
It's early yet, but it might be worthwhile organising a post season international draw so you've all got something to do while the off season has its way with us.
So far the only things pencilled in are:
Tri- Series between Australia, New Zealand, and England
Islanders' Cup between Papua New Guinea and New Zealand

What about an expansion of the Islanders Cup to include Fiji, Tonga, Cook Islands and Samoa?
Have a six nations type thing-o...

Yeah, I like that idea. Are all of the Islander coaches keen on that idea?

I have no fucking idea, but i think a few little comps would be a better idea then just playing a shit load of 'friendlies'...just my take.

What about bringing back the Guinness Challenge you ran last season? That can easily be expanded if need be, although that wouldn't be necessary if we also ran the Islanders Cup at the same time.

Yea i recon Europeans cup is a good idea. Chris is it alright for me and tony to organise matches for Portugal. We got a team together and everything seems ok.

How bout Germany Vs Europe?? as long as those damn yanks don't get invlolved again we'll kick ass.

How about Europe have their cup and the Islanders have theirs then the winner of each comp play each other in a 3 match series which could be called the "Super cup".

What we could do is have a European Cup, an Islanders' Cup, and then perhaps the Guinness Invitational made up of the remaining sides (Australia, South Africa, USA, Japan etc)
The top sides from each progress to a tri-series style final, or, ideally, we could have the top two from four groups and make a final eight system.

Im in for an Islanders Cup Expansion, Fiji are looking to kick some arse :D
thewizard1o1 - September 10, 2004 04:28 AM (GMT)
With the three series trinations is the easiest way to go imo... :randell:
