But you can't have a WC tournament with 5 teams. I said for PNG to be in the WC, but for it to be played over 4 years like it was in the early nineties. What was wrong with the 1992 WC Final? So it would be 8 matches over 3 years and obviously the Final in the fourth. It would officially be called the England, Wales and Scotland Lions, but they would be known as the England Lions, maybe some would write the teams as EWS Lions at times. Anyway, our home match v PNG would always be in Sydney. So possibly if the final was in October 2024, we would play France in April 2021, then tour Oz in October/Nov 2021 and play 4 matches, 1 vs PNG at Port Moresby and 3 vs the Kangaroos. Play France in April 2022 and tour NZ in October 2022, play PNG in Sydney before going over to NZ. In 2023 NZ would come over here for a one off match in April and Oz would tour here in October 2023. I don't have much interest in NZ touring here, only the Kangaroos get lots watching.
