  1. Mostly full of kiwis and fijians on residency. But at least they have a few Japanese.
  2. There were never any foundations to begin with, it was all built on sand! That's why I've always been critical of heritage teams and got shot down on here for it. Start from the beginning, find people who are interested and get exhibition matches going, focus on young players. Then look into schools, colleges, uni etc. Then build a competition. Play internationals against the likes of Germany, CZ, Malta etc using Scottish talent. If they're only a small level and not good enough for WCs, then so be it. Having fully heritage teams does no favours for anyone.
  3. Yeah I consider Scotland and Japan a bit of a joke. But the union loving media will never call them out on it.
  4. They could always bring Cameron Smith out of retirement to ref the game like old times
  5. Difference is the union teams are actual locals not Aussie and English rejects
  6. Think they should be banned from RLWC qualifying until they can get a proper domestic competition running. Not just union players having a run around for 3 weeks in the off season. Proper structures, women's game, schools etc.
  7. Because they played against heritage sides. Put a domestic Serbia v domestic Scotland and it will be a close contest.
  8. Matches like this do no favours for RL. One sided game in an empty stadium with a team with no locals in it. I doubt anyone in Scotland will be picking up the sport tonight.
  9. I'm fine with 16 teams, I'd just rather see Serbia, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Turkey etc instead of Scotland etc. If they lost with genuine players from their domestic game, I doubt many will care.
  10. As is David Scott, but he's nowhere to be seen. Same with Ireland, they pick half arsed Aussies over Ronan Michael. There needs to be a rule in 2025 that you must have at least 8 domestic in your 24 man squad. If the likes of Scotland etc can't do that, well tough. They don't have a divine right to be in the competition.
  11. Difference is it happens every tournament for Scotland and they have zero homegrown players or development. Can anyone honestly say they'd be missed in 2025?
  12. Not to mention a big part of union fans constantly bagging the tournament.
  13. There's no interest and zero development. There are more deserving countries we should focus on, but RL ignores them as they're not in the Six Nations.
  14. Scotland are an embarrassment. Hopefully they're banned from qualifying for 2025. Tired of them taking an undeserved spot.
  15. I think England and Australia need a minimum 12 year absence to help maximise crowds. If US bid can guarantee a profit before ticket sales, I'd go with it. Get Perez involved too. 2025 - France 2029 - US/Canada 2033 - Australia 2037 - England
