Fiji will have a NSW CUP rugby league team in 2016

Post by AFLsforPussies »

Only just found this out. While AFL continues to struggle to get Pacific Island Nations into their sport.

Fiji will have a team competing in in the NSW cup in 2016. This will only increase the support for Rugby League in smaller Pacific nations and is a great thing for the sport.

Who gives a rats arse about that tiny pacific island. Apart from a week away from work at one of their resorts.

Union is still and always will be a much dominate game in the pacific islands anyway. Learn to pack a scrum ya scums.

Ah the jealousy of AFL fans. Islanders are great athletes and a lot of the top NRL players are of Fijian decent which proves they like Rugby League.

Fiji has a polulation of close to 900,000 people. Plenty of potential support there.

Yes more of them play Rugby Union. But the fact Fiji can be competitive in Rugby League says the game has support there.

No other nation even plays AFL or has taken any real interest in the sport. AFL is pretty much only played by and taken seriously by white Australians and some indigenous players.

And only half of Australia States at that, and some small pockets in 2 of the 3 largest states

Very true mate, AFL is at the very bottom of the sports radar in NSW and QLD behind Union and Soccer.

Good Vision by the NRL

This will only improve the pacific Islands in Rugby League

As seen in the WORLD CUP IN ENGALND and when played in Australia..

Too right guys, AFL fans really don't realise the growth of Rugby League in the Pacific Nations compared to their own code.

So many quality players from these nations joining the NRL.

Man that was a great link. Welldone!!

The amount of future talent in Fiji available to the NRL is really exciting.
Those guys remind me of some of the top African American athletes playing the NFL. Fast, Strong and Agile.
