Yeah, but Saints have opted for Australia! I mean, aren't we supposed to be revving up to destroy them in the World Cup? I'm bemused we haven't gone for Fiji. They aren't going to have much in the way of support so surely it would make more sense to promote Fiji if any team is going to be promoted? Or just be neutral and encourage both teams to visit schools. Only St Helens could support the team who has beaten the home nation for 40 years. They'll be supporting Leeds next ...
Rochdale will adopt Fiji. For people of a certain age they will remember the likes of Joe Levula and Ravouvou who played for Fiji back in the 1960's. I believe there is a big Fijian community there.
