    Could they have come up with a more vague name?

    Classic union, the more boring, the better.

    Fucking hate when sponsors are in the name of the league/cup etc, specially when it sounds ridiculous.

    Barclays Premier League is fine, Hyundai A-League is also fine. This is just shit.

    So you've got the castrol edge rugby championship that use to be called the tri nations and has the bledisloe trophy up for grabs in it.


    Union to go and get.
     
  5. Speirz DG Speirs

    You've got the Mandela Challenge Plate and Puma Trophy in there as well IIRC.

    Is this what the 'new' cup involving Argentina is going to be called?
     
  7. Sultan Pepper HG Emm

    Stop it.
     
  8. Gazza GJ Weaver

    Yep. So shit
     
  9. Speirz DG Speirs

    Yep. Didn't want the Four Nations or Quad Nations.

    They're just the ones Australia will play for in this tournament. I know we've got a few more against various other countries. I don't know if it's just an Australian thing though, do the Kiwis and Saffas have a trophy between themselves?
     
  10. Mousey AJ Son

    So, so shit.
     
  11. Rego RS Hutchinson

    Will be the 4/ Quad Nations in my mind.
     
  12. Rego RS Hutchinson

    No. Only Bledisloe Cup against you Aussies for us.
     
  13. Roaddogg AJ Izett

    the saffies are our biggest rival, theres bound to be something played for between us, that just doesnt get as big a mention as the bledisloe cup
     
  14. Gazza GJ Weaver

    I think there is, not sure what it is called though
     
  15. SmellyStuff MP Chung

    Mandela Trophy?
     
  16. Rego RS Hutchinson

  17. Rego RS Hutchinson

    Aus vs SA trophy.
     
  18. Sultan Pepper HG Emm

    Stupid shit.


    Good to see Argentina involved though, good for world rugby. Do the pacific Islands play each other in an annual tournament at all?
     
  19. Henry Marshall H Marshall

    FFS. Was calling it Quad Nations really that hard?
     
  20. Henry Marshall H Marshall

    Yeah Pacific Nations Cup. Tonga, Fiji, Samoa and Japan. Aust A and Junior All Blacks used to play in it as well. Really good comp IMO.
