I thought this was a joke - if the goal was to have a shortened tournament, how is that possible if countries are entering more than one team in a division?
Questions that then come to mind:
- Is the second team from a country an invitational team? (ie. cannot go for the medals)
- If the answer to above is YES, then I assume that you can choose not to play them?
- Can we then enter a Barbarians team for the tournament?
As far as entering teams for Durban, as far as I am aware (ie heresay and rumour) the Netherlands are still planning to send:
- Elite Men (some less Elite than others)
- Elite Women
- Elite Masters Men (seems unfair that they don't get to be elite too)
There were plans for a Masters Women team, but that fell through unfortunately. And, as far as Juniors go we really need to get off our bottoms and get Junior teams organised. NZ is the shining example of the Junior program delivering you an Elite medal.
