I dunno whether the ARU has any money at hand, but I think it would be worth it (in rugby development terms) to select a form NRC representative squad and send them on an Aussie Barbars tour.
Japan against the Top League sides or the university teams. North America against USA A and Canada A. Hell, let em go for an Eastern European piss-up with couple of games in Romania and Georgia. I dunno what place they could go to, but give these guys something.
(If we can afford it)
I wonder if they could find a Japanese jersey sponsor for an Asian tour?
