That was my thoughts also. Would be nice if they were actually from the islands though.

At the 2005 Student RLWC, the Pacific Islands team ( also put together late) were , i believe, all Oz based. The term 'Student' was a bit tenuous at times. Knew one of the guys who definitely was not a FT student.

Hopefully the IRL people, have a serious look at this competition as it could be a great promotional tool for the code if in any way linked to the 2025 RLWC in North America. Canadian / USA teams / Central - South American teams would be great.
