Solomon Islands' first rep footy squad set for Tonga

A quote from one of those linked articles above:

"Folau, Hunt, whose parents are from Samoa and the Cook Islands, and athletic West Coast Eagles ruckman Nic Natanui, who is of Fijian descent, will attend the AFL's under-16 Oceania Cup in Tonga".

Very encouraging that the AFL are taking over some Polynesian stars - these guys could have real traction and turn the local spotlight on the youth Oceania Cup. Those kind of things can really focus a lot of the country if done right. Whereas in bigger countries like NZ or even in Europe or the US, such promotions can disappear without a trace. We still want attention paid to those areas too, but you can see how much extra leverage can be obtained in smaller countries.
