I'm not sure if its viable given the apparent rivalry between Tonga nd Samoa, but a combined South Sea "Lions" team would be a fearsome apponent for any team.
Regarding the origin vs international selection policies, I'm pretty sure adrian lam played queensland and PNG. I don't see why they couldn't let it happen again.

| Quote: JonM "It just isn't though.
People in "Lancashire" see Liverpool vs Manchester as a big rivalry; on Merseyside, you'd be easily able to drum up some interest in a scousers vs woolybacks game. I've never heard anyone express a desire to beat Yorkshire at all costs, or any other expression of keenly felt rivalry.'"
Speak for yourself .... I hate Yorkshire.

I was talking to a bloke during the last Ashes series in Australia who was from Leeds and he said he hated people from Lancashire with a passion
Maybe it's different in Cricket'"
He was confusing Hate, with Jealousy

| Quote: JonM "You can get one-sided rivalries. In soccer, Leeds Utd fans tend to see Man Utd as their main rivals, but are pretty much off the radar for Man Utd fans - with 8 premier league clubs in Lancashire and none in Yorkshire, it's not surprising. Yorkshiremen tend to support other Yorkshire clubs if their own team is not involved, but someone from Liverpool would support pretty much any team in the world playing against Man City or Man Utd and expect to have the same treatment from Manchester fans when they play.'"
I can gurantee Leeds are more 'on the radar' than all of the Lancashire clubs but possibly one, to think that the Leeds/Man U rivalry is one way is very naive.
Also most of the Liverpool fans I know quite like Man City (your enemies enemy is your friend and all that).

| Quote: JonM "It's a match-up with a bit more history in cricket, certainly - but also due to them being the only two county clubs in the north for best part of 100 years. With Cricket, the powerbase historically has been the mill towns which are a lot closer to Yorkshire.

Devon v Cornwall is way more keenly felt than any other county rivalry.'"
None of this is true.
