Well, I saw an article on Asotasi being out of the Kiwi side and remembered the Leaguies are putting on a World Cup this year... or basically a contest to see who is the second best league side in the World (pending upsets).
The venues include the much-vaunted Browne Park at Rockhampton (capacity 8,000) and a few of the regular venues for the NRL (Bluetongue when they can be bothered, SFS, Penrith Park, Dairy Farmers etc) and even has Telstra Dome on the list (I don't know why either). The teams include the threatening Papua New Guinea who get the honour of facing Australia, New Zealand, AND England in their pool stages. I'm disappointed not to see Lebanon listed as yet, but all the home nations, France, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, and the Kiwis will be there. Yep - that's 10 teams at least officially. Maybe they'll drop Qatar in as a surprise or something...
