Pacifica team made up of the likes of Tonga, Samoa, Niue, Cook Islands etc . players to compete on a more regular basis and stop the player drain to Origin and New Zealand.
I'd imagine to work like this 4 out of 5 years they play together and split for the World Cup.
Now Union has tried this in the past with an Islander team and it worked for a bit.
League has made Origin a success in its own right something we took from AFL and what's not to say they could make this successful.
My question if say this Pacifica side formed would you go and see them play? Against the likes of Aus, NZ etc.
I've often thought that if Samoa and Tonga had the ability to call upon all there heritage players they could give the likes of the big 3 a big shake
