I can't finish the team. I don't know enough players to be honest.

Probably worth remembering the PI team is not limited to the national squads of Fiji, Samoa and Tonga. from memory you just have to have a PI connection. All Blacks, Wallabies, English, Welsh and French are also eligible without compromising their nationality.

Someone like Mils might want to take part.

It is limited to players who are eligible to play for Samoa, Fiji, Tonga and I think the Cook Islands and have played for no other nation outside of that group.

Lovobalavu, Mapusua, Caucaunibuca even Little and Rabeni still able to do a job.

There's always Nacewa too, if he would play.

Edit: Didn't realise how young Tagicakibau and Nalaga are, seem to have been around forever.

When did it change?

Apologies. The qualifications changed in July 2006. Showing my age, I guess.

You can also include Islander New Zealanders also, like Isca, or even people like Jeramy Collins.
