RayCee Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 It seems an international between these two nations is to be played this weekend. One thing about RL is that it's able to put this sort of thing together very quickly. https://www.radionz.co.nz/international/pacific-news/369325/sport-niue-rugby-league-team-to-face-italy My blog: https://rugbyl.blogspot.co.nz/ It takes wisdom to know when a discussion has run its course. It takes reasonableness to end that discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, other sports wouldn't organise an international that quickly regardless of their origin. I guess being a small sport makes it easier. It will be interesting to see how Niue goes because it is overshadowed by other Pacific nations and wants to get better. The Cook Is for example aren't organising such matches and they could do with more games. My blog: https://rugbyl.blogspot.co.nz/ It takes wisdom to know when a discussion has run its course.

Niue is a population of 1600 people, I wouldn’t get too excited by them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulga Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Apparently it was supposed to be Italy v Samoa but Samoa couldn't get themselves together. Niue stepped in at late notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM2010 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 How come Solomon Islands and Vanuatu aren't stronger? They've got much bigger populations than Tonga and Samoa. Isn't there much league played there. Isn't there big communities in Australia and NZ like Tonga and Samoa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made quite a bit about the population of Niue without mentioning that up to 95% of the population doesn’t actually live there.
