how about an undercard featuring 4 of the world cup's smaller teams playing in a double header with the main 4 teams. some of these games have been so good so far i'm sure they will swell the crowds, with match ups like tonga vs fiji or scotland v wales
I like this idea.
We could think of expanding the Four Nations to a Five Nations. Have the undercard as a Five Nations qualifier tournament to be promoted to the five nations for the next season, with the bottom club in the five nations dropping back down to the qualifier group. Games can be double headers which would appeal to more players to represent there countries.
I'd expand to Five Nations purely because we know Aus, Eng and NZ will more then likely be the top three so having another team in there will give the newly promoted clubs a chance of staying in the competition.
