Fucking hate when sponsors are in the name of the league/cup etc, specially when it sounds ridiculous. Barclays Premier League is fine, Hyundai A-League is also fine. This is just shit.
So you've got the castrol edge rugby championship that use to be called the tri nations and has the bledisloe trophy up for grabs in it. Union to go and get.
Yep. Didn't want the Four Nations or Quad Nations. They're just the ones Australia will play for in this tournament. I know we've got a few more against various other countries. I don't know if it's just an Australian thing though, do the Kiwis and Saffas have a trophy between themselves?
the saffies are our biggest rival, theres bound to be something played for between us, that just doesnt get as big a mention as the bledisloe cup
Freedom cup. So minor. No presentation or even recognition of NZ winning it. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Cup Bledisloe cup is the only notable trophy bar the Tri nations cup in the Tri Nations.
Stupid shit. Good to see Argentina involved though, good for world rugby. Do the pacific Islands play each other in an annual tournament at all?
Yeah Pacific Nations Cup. Tonga, Fiji, Samoa and Japan. Aust A and Junior All Blacks used to play in it as well. Really good comp IMO.
