[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 791949, member: 48703"] Not from the Pacific Islands, but I can tell you with some certainty that no that wouldn't work. They already tried a Lions style Pacific Islanders side and it failed badly. Concepts like the Lions or West Indies have long history. The PI side was a mess that nobody from the Islands particularly brought into or liked, and disbanded within 4 years. Also struggling to see how a new body that would presumably a collection of those Unions would bypass the deep rooted corruption and incompetence in their administration. [/QUOTE]
