[QUOTE="CeeJay, post: 123424"] Like I said why don't SANZAR allow Argentina and Pacific Islands into the Tri Nations and Super 14? Because it would give players from Pacific Islands a Chance to play for Fiji, Tonga and Samoa. If they had a Super 14 Franchise they would have a choice. At the moment a Pacific Islands either plays for a club in NZ and as you say are "developed by NZ" and then go on to play for the ALL BLACKS. At least when they go to a club in Europe they are not eligible to play for NZ and can then play for Fiji, Tonga or Samoa. [/b][/quote] Argentina and the pacific islands are not alowed in simply because the trinations is 9 weeks long, and the super 14 is 14 weeks long, adding and xtra 4 teams to one or both of these comps is just not pheasable. Theres already issues about players playing to much rugby each year, and thats why theyre stearing clear of it. [/QUOTE]
