Nice.

The talent these Island nations have for full contact footy codes is unbelievable, with PNG and Fiji having teams in the feeder comps at least, that means the national sides will more or less become pro within a few short seasons. last nights Parra v Souths game had at least 3 Fijian players running around.

Semi Radradra, Jarryd Hayne and Lote tuqiri

I'm happy for afl to remain an Australian comp ... Sure explore around for talent but just like American football, Australian football does exceedingly well as a domestic comp.
