[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 871442, member: 74121"] Talk of a sevens tournament aligned to this new XVs tournament in a Western Force press release. [URL]https://www.rugbywa.asn.au/news/andrew-forrest-ao-says-court-decision-breaks-forces-hearts-but-toughens-and-emboldens-our-spirit/[/URL] Wild and currently baseless speculation I have read includes: - pinching the Fijian NRC side - some Aussie side in NSW called the Greater Sydney Rams that underwent a recent rebranding and new ownership - Malaysia (apparently they have plans to create a domestic professional league and they are no stranger to international sports (e.g. MotoGP) - Sri Lanka (apparently they have some kind of professional 7s circuit called Super 7s) - something based in Singapore There is even wilder speculation about Hong Kong and South Korea but you'd imagine these would be more credible markets for Mr Forrest to consider given their world rankings and domestic qualified talent. Rumours that the SA franchises the Sharks and Lions have sent letters to the SARU requesting membership of this Indo Pacific tournament given their position near the Indian Ocean are at present completely made up by me. :p [/QUOTE]
