[QUOTE="Sourdust, post: 455321, member: 48458"] Forgive me if this sounds like heresy, not to say a probable logistical nightmare; but with all the issues of player availability, why not play the tournament in Europe? Or alternate it between Europe and NZ? And then maybe add some extra local draw by having a one-off test between the winner and the host nation? As a rugby fan I'd be thrilled to watch Samoa vs Tonga in a competitive fixture at the Ospreys' Liberty Stadium, and I'm sure plenty of Wasps, Leinster and Edinburgh fans would feel the same way. Add on the prospect of the eventual winners playing (e.g.) a full Millennium Stadium test against Wales, and surely it's "ker-ching"? :-) [/QUOTE]
