It is my understanding that the AIS requires that there be some sort of international game associated with the program.

That is my understanding too. But for a while it looked like it would be a trip to South Africa each year, whereas now they are broadening their horizons.

Quote from well known AFL identity and current AFL director of coaching Peter Schwab:

As with all ambitious journeys, this has started with a single step.

There will be critics who will see no value in such a contest but I believe they miss the point. If you love our game and believe it is the greatest game in the world, then you just can't talk about it, and you must embrace and assist those around the world who are playing the game, and trying to establish it in new lands and new cultures.

Getting serious about the international market will take more time, commitment and funding.

Correct - and before South Africa they used to do the AIS international rules against Ireland for the same reason.

I vote for playing footy rather than international rules any day, though it will take some serious work to get an international opposition up to scratch.
