Never in a million years!

I know but we can dream!

Better to ensure that the SH "2nd tier" nations play in a Bi-annual Pacific Nations competition.



PNG, Tonga, Samoa and Fiji need to meet on a regular basis.....same format as the 4 Nations. The "COST" of flying these teams around could be met through ticket sales, sponsorship and TV rights.

The pacific nations are pretty equal, samoa slightly the better but fiji and png not far behind and Tonga usually give samoa a close game. A tournament next year featuring those 4 plus nz and england would have been better.



The European nations at moment are too far behind to be competitive.

France, Italy (with their NRL players), Scotland, Wales and Ireland and maybe even England Knights would be a good Euro comp

Fiji, Samoa, Tonga PNG and maybe even NZ Maori would be a good PI comp



Leave the big 3 to play each other, let the others grow stronger themselves and personally, I'd like to see a 25% rule for these nations with 25% of the squad actually being from the country they represent.....that's only 6 players from 24 so not too extreme, but a "start" in getting the local comps moving.

I agree, they have to make an effort to play at least one game in Scotland. Can then play another in Workington and then play England in the heartlands somewhere.

what was the attendance for scotlands final game v france?

1432

ahead of the Eng - NZ test series both Nations should be given a warm up game



Send NZ to France



and England should play Scotland, yes to give England a warm up but also to give the Scots a taste of what is to come in the 4 nations



Afterwards Scotland should play France the week after as a stand alone match



Ok only 2 matches each but could be vital for both nations, Keeps france going and gives Scotland some vital prep for the 4 nations

there is a rumour that NZ are playing HullFC at the end of the season as part of our 150th anniversary.

Pointless Scotland been in the 4 nations 3 heavy defeats coming there way even if they fill there team with Scottish Aussies

but they earned the right to be in it
