[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 153226"] True, Fiji beating Wales was the only scalp taken. However I don't think anybody can deny Fiji showed massive improvement in this tournament compared to the last - South Africa were given a fairly big fright. Tonga got close to South Africa too, and were very competitive against another semi finalist, England. Samoa put it up to England and were it not for injuries and disciplinary issues, they would have fared better in the tournament. I read a newspaper article today where a member of the iRB stated that the South Sea Islands won't get a full test schedule until they compete better in the Pacific 6 Nations (ie Island nations start winning the thing). Thus entry into an expanded Tri Nations is quite a distance away for the individual islands but a Pacific Islands composite side (in the short term) could be a possibility while the individual countries still play in the Pacific 6 Nations.
