Now that's finally a game to look forward to!

I've always thought that bringing teams that NZ has a strong sporting rivalry with would be a great idea.

I'd also like to see the AW's play teams like Scotland, Ireland, and Wales more often.

Big crowds and media interest guaranteed, because people are familiar with these opponents from watching the AB's playing them.



With the new European League thing being kicked about I think our chances of watching NZ play them in NZ is about as great as the ABs playing USA in the USA outside of a World Cup, ie Zip, Zero.  Realistically I think these are sides that we will only be able to play in the UK & Ireland. 

Also the days of Scotland being a powerhouse draw-card have passed on I'd say.

We should be trying to lure the likes of South Korea, Japan, SA, Aussie and China here more.  Maybe even Canada too.
