fighting irish Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 With those two countries (South Africa and Morocco) taking part along with Lebanon the tournament begins to look more and more interesting all the time. Lot's to be cheerful about and I hope, it will give a boost to the development of the game in those countries and throughout MEA countries.

Yes, I was projecting forward a bit. I wonder why they are not taking part? It is of course a huge continent (Africa) and the cost might be prohibitive for fledgling organisations. Same old problem, the world over. I just hope they can keep building a bit at a time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 16 Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 I really hope that if the IRL get any kind of reasonable bounty from this coming WC that they invest in the future of MEA, where you'd get so much more bang for your buck! A target of establishing a dozen clubs, with juniors etc in each of six or so nations wouldn't, or shouldn't, be beyond achieving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Africa have mostly been looking inward, trying to grow the domestic game, rather than going for the international scene. It's their choice to make but, should things go well at home, I hope they will look further abroad soon. 1 "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life.

That's possibly a sensible approach particularly given RSA's relative isolation and the costs associated with international fixtures. But I guess the question is just how big an attraction to playing the game is the opportunity to represent your country at international level.

The winner of this tournament will play them for a World Cup spot. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
