Perhaps it is time the government is challenged over their policy on ex-pats playing for the National team - there is hardly a country in the world that hasn't benefited from the influx f players from overseas - even the mghty All-Blacks recruit from the pacific islands. The IRB laws are quite clear -use them to develop the game. Well done to both teams and those who made it happen.

The C.R.F. has worked very hard over the past 2 years to get ourselves organized and ready to play our first international game. We thank the H.R.F. for accepting our invitation to be the first international side to play us. Regarding your comment about one national anthem being played for 2 countries, well I must tell you that up until about 15 or so years ago, God Save the Queen was played at all Scotland v England games. Good luck to you in your forthcoming qualifying match. Dear Mike,
