There was talk a month or so ago of a NZ Maori v Tomahawks game being organised for Salt Lake City in Utah. Does anyone know if this is still on?
For those not aware, Utah has a big population of Pacific Islanders who are associated with the Mormon church, who have sent missionaries to the Pacific for a very long time now. At least one guy from Utah plays for the Tomahawks, even though there is no comp at present.
At various times attempts have been made to start up a League comp in the Union off season in Utah to take advantage of the number of people with both Union and League experience in that area.
A Maori v Tomahawks, with as many Utah players in the Tomahawks as possible, may spark up interest in the code.
