[QUOTE="Scrum Bum, post: 752716, member: 72671"] Yeah. Or it could be a promotion/relegation game between bottom side of the top tier vs the top side of the bottom comp. Doubt it'd work though, that was used in NZ's domestic comp for ages and more often than not the 'premiership' side walloped the lower div champs. It's still being played. This year it was held in the US, played between the yanks, samoa fiji tonga and japan. I think having the USA and Japan involved in possibly playing regular fixtures against the ABs/Aus/SA will entice them. They're against playing Fiji/Samoa/Tonga cos financial and logistical reasons, but with the US and Japan being in the mix the powerbrokers may see dollar signs. [/QUOTE]
