I don't think it is sold in France anyway... |

Pathetic!
"We have a contract with VB which we take very seriously and have every intention of honouring."
First of all it really ought to be a non issue but nothing seems to stop the Ausies from generating negative press.
Who the hell negotiated the deal with a brewery and did'nt forsee the possible issue of playing in France.
Finaly its seems from the above quote that the Ausies take their beer sponsorship rather more seriously than they do the game itself.

Exactly. I know there will be a potential TV audience in Australia, but surely C9 or Fox (whoever has the rights) can run VB ads at every scrum, as per every weekly NRL game? |

It was the other way round - Aus team would not display the Gillette logo on their shirts because of the Phillip's clash.
A bigger threat to the 4 nations is the lack of an overall sponsor, as Gillette have pulled out. Not easy to get a non fags/booze/gambling sponsor in the current climate. |

Chances of this getting in the way of the tournament - 0%
This is pretend hot air to generate some press.

France have come on so far in one year that Nz and Oz are both contemplating forfeiting their matches instead of looking bad in France.
When Wigan had this problem with their "Mecca Bingo" logo they turned it into a massive positive by giving away advertising to a charity. Now, Wigan are big enough to do this, how small does that make Oz?

I fail to understand why this puts the whole tournament in doubt - the Aussies either dont come at all, and we have a Tri Nations; or we have a 4N and the Aussies forfeit the game in France.
Time to stop pandering to these idiots, and get on with the game.
