It would be awesome if the Pacific Nations were stronger but they don't have the money or domestic markets to operate professional leagues or fund teams in Super Rugby etc.
They'll never have the money to fund professional leagues or teams in super rugby. And they shouldn't have to! Their players should be spread throughout our teams instead of European clubs.
As the competition expands we should allow (and encourage) their players to play in Super Rugby. Without decreasing the number of Australian players.
Then their test players would mostly be in our season and we could include them in the Rugby Championship - either individually or as a collective PI team. I think that would be great for the game. And it would help fight off rugby league in the islands, which is a big threat.
