I would also much rather see two national teams (USA plus one other) than the Indigenous Aus and Maori teams. However if the Indigenous and Maori were chosen instead I wouldn't be too concerned as long as the WC still went ahead this year. They would need to be called Indigenous Australia and Maori Nation or something similar though rather than the tacky 'All Stars' moniker. That type of name is ok for a league competition affiliated exhibition game but not for an international competition.

That had certainly crossed my mind, they would be less concerned with a possible England triumph I think but should one of Tonga, Samoa or Fiji win the World Cup then they will face the prospect of the tap of PI players switching to the Kangaroos turning off.
