Message: [QUOTE="subsbligh, post: 2640340, member: 1950"] Absolutely there could be a cash grab. Play the opening game in London once every 5 years and you'd get 90,000 expats paying $1,000 each packed into Twickenham. Take Fiji over as a curtain raiser. Have the Exiles versus England as a curtain raiser. Give everyone 2 weeks off to play it. Time zones - well that's another story. But my point was SANZAR does it with a strategy of realistic expansion in mind. They want a proper Asia Pacific/South Ameria/Southern hemisphere Rugby Competition. They actually have possibilities of this happening, as opposed to State of Origin which literally has (and only ever should) 2 competitors. Japan is now into the Super 15. 3 or 4 years ago they started taking a Bledisloe I think international rugby league expansion should focus on the South Pacific islands - but that's a topic for another day. The fact Fiji and PNG have teams in the NSW and QLD Premier divisions is a great step in the right direction. [/QUOTE]
