Look...no need to get aggressive here. It should be a friendly rivalry not an aggressive one :)

I appreciate you organising this between our countries but as many others have stated the timing is not quite right and some of our Aussie managers are doing the right and ethical thing by pulling out rather than play a team of scrubs.

The reason I haven't thrown my hat in the ring (and I assume a lot of the ABBLers as well) is the possibility of injury. I was personally burnt last season participating in that ANZAC scrimmage and got one of my key players injured for 2 weeks when the official season haven't even begun! That injury cost me at least a win in the ABBL and I just don't feel like risking my players again given what was on the line.

Believe me, if you organise it as the last week of the season you would get a lot more interest from the Aussie side. I think this is a good compromise in future seasons.

Now for some friendly banter: I think the Aussies here will win easily if we all field our ABBLers!! :P

LOL I second that!

Only reason why I haven't put my hand up for the ANZAC scrimwar is cos I'm still chasing flags, yes I'm that selfish. =P

NZ won 4-0. All the other matches weren't played.

haha.

would you be able to post the scores of the games that were played?


cheers

If you aren't totally upset and frustrated and you make this in the LAST week of the season or during the allstar week you will get a lot more teams participating with their real players.

If you guys voted in the poll earlier this season it might be that way...
