[QUOTE="Steve-o, post: 207101"] We're forgeting about nations with just as much potential, e.g. the PI nations. I mean look at Fiji, their population is probably between 500 000 - 1 million, and they beat Wales in the last WC. Amazing considering Wales' long and proud history in Rugby Union, whereas in Fiji Union plays 2nd fiddle to 7's. That's true potential right there. However is it gonna be financially viable to expand the Super Rugby there? I think that's where SANZAR gets stuck everytime with Argentina and the PI's. Money. Unfortunately there's no way around it, as the money trend has been set already, and considering how European clubs trip over eachothers feet to secure SANZAR players, it makes their job even harder.
