Odval has opted for New Zealand for now. It came down to NZ vs. Victoria, and given Victoria's propensity to not submit a team sheet, I recommended NZ where he'd be likely to get "B" game time.
Possibility of having a Barbarians team. At least there is a proven team in real rugby that matches up to an "Every Cunt Else" scenario, whereas there really isn't in any other sport. So, you'd make it up out of Asia, South Africa, South Australia, Western Australia Celtics and France? You'd probably have: 1. Os du Toit 2. Soumyanil Das 3. Ishan Narang 4. James McDougal 5. Double Dong 6. Callum Laing 7. Michael Chung 8. Jono Chewie 9. Cobra Classified/Fourie van der Westhuizen 10. Chad Dyer 11. Ali Farhat 12. Zohaib Ikram 13. Darren Cave 14. Chris Raftery 15. Ginger Furball 16. Leumas Himann 17. Antone Sciappapetre 18. Nick Scott 19. Hal Teja 20. Thad Bochat/Kovana Solosolo 21. Cunning Stunt 22. Aby Dforum A mixed bag that. Weak front row, weak back line. Bloody good 2nd row and back row. Himann vs. Chewie would be a form decision.
Is GB there meant to be England? I don't think we have the players to support an "A" side sans Celts and Saffas. At least not one that wouldn't be smashed for fun.
It should be England, and then GB A The GB A vs. NZ A is just to make up for the fact that GB and NZ players miss out on games during the Sub-Provincial tournament. GB A can use eligible bench players/unselected players from Scotland, Ireland and Wales as well to make up the numbers. Once I've seen the two teams, if there aren't enough contracted players in the line-ups, I might dump the match from the schedule.
