This is going to be controversial but nations like Brazil, Argentina and chile etc offer more long term benefits to RL than the Pacific nations like Tonga, Samoa and Cook Islands etc ever will.
That’s a difficult one Walter. I understand where you are coming from but currently the PIs can generate the sort of crowds that will take decades for a SA country to achieve if they ever do.
Very true and I’m not for one second saying that we should drop the Pacific nations at anytime but the likes of Samoa, Tonga, the Cook Islands and maybe even Fiji are never going to host test matches on home soil and they are never going to tour because of their small populations and lack of money.
I honestly can’t ever see Tonga or Fiji tour the U.K. or France due to finances. I think they are quite happy playing tests in Auckland and Campbeltown unfortunately.
