[QUOTE="AlynDavies, post: 791981, member: 33272"] The islands are third world economies, in the middle of no where, with low and sporadic populations. Thats the problem, their as developed as their likely to get. There are scouts from all over the world trying to sign the promising players, from colleges in New Zealand and academies in France. Most decent players from that part of the world will be offered some kind of professional contract that they could not get at home. At the end of the day the focus really needs to be in Europe, Africa, the Americas and Asia because that's where the money and growth potential is. [/QUOTE]
