People just aren't interested. There's no intensity or meaning behind it no matter how the media spin it. The antipodeans aren't playing with a level of international pride for a made up team, badge and concept. It's only ever going to be a stop gap in international RL if it comes back. Money/resources need to be spent developing other nations to make them more competitive where there is interest. The ins and outs of which are probably very complicated but as a general strategy surely the best one.

It needs to be a genuine trial for a test spot as well, rather than a half assed run around from Lanc players too sure of their test places.

Surely it's Matthew Bowen, Marcus Minichiello and Kenneth Sio?

Matthew Jeremy Bowen

Markus Antonio Minichiello

My goodness. You are correct on two of them.



Mark Minichiello could be Marco Minichiello. I will check with his brother Antonio at first light.

Possibly but there isn't a current England team who could match them.



Why I'm not sure but ther maybe a clue somewhere
