Message: [QUOTE="Professor47, post: 3576167, member: 1831"] Terrible team selections in terms of positioning; also the Aussies are not as keen on this series compared to the island nations and NZ IMO. I don't blame them, its a random series that was put on. I know the saying "any time you put on the green and gold bla bla" but that does just not resonate without meaning and history. (i.e. ashes, anzac, Tri nations, etc.) Whether this "pacific championships" becomes a thang... not sure... I personally couldn't give two hoots about it at this stage. You can dig a bit deeper but... it kind of feels like the NSW v QLD passion... IMO it looks like NZ/island nations are REALLY passionate about putting on that jersey and fair enough, there is more history and culture in terms of anthem, dances, religion, haka, war crys, elders, etc. What does 'Australia' mean in today's world? Anthem hardly resonates with everyone, does the team represent the everyday Aussie? etc. I think we gathered as a nation more with the matildas... I think the players played like how 'most' of us felt about this 'pacific series' IMO. It was a reflection of where the team was at. [/QUOTE]
