[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1076660, member: 74121"] It's not done yet - Marinos from Oz is on the record as saying Japanese inclusion is dependent on on-field performance against the other RC sides and that they don't want to admit a uncompetitive side. I imagine it is a discussion point in any RC negotiations, with SA probably not big on Japanese inclusion. Plus this nations league thing may be a 12 team closed shop which may remove pressure for incorporating Japan into another tournament. I would say that SA replacement of Italy story came from the Daily Mail, which isn't a particularly reliable source. I can't see Italy being removed or volunteering to leave, despite the bizarre utterances of their coach. [/QUOTE]
