SBS TV Gallipoli Tri Nations Tournaments Story

[darkangel2347]

A really new and really different approach to clebrating ANZAC day. I have always felt the mainstream media always leaves out the Turks in any ANZAC coverage. And after an hour or two, it gets really boring too. I hope this gets up. It will make ANZAC Day look really multi-cultural, whish it originally was!

Probably only work as a one off, but could work if it is for U21's (although probably not as much interest).

HaiYena, please check trinations uaau com au for details. Our aim is to take this on a level of ongoing tradition. That would give the young lives who lost their lives in Gallipoli something to cheer up and be proud. Don't you think?

i think its a bloody awesome idea!!

[HaiYena]

In terms of a full strength teams competing in a trinations, I think that it'll work as a one off for the 100yr anniversary, after that, more like a U21, or even club champions (not sure how NZ would decide on their clubs) as Talay suggested.

Thats a more clarified version of my comment :)

[mWb003]

if the countrys are to field national teams other than their full strength senior squad, then Uffy deserves to captain the Olyroos (although they are currently our u/23s) as he is "the best player to not represent australia".

but i think that a club format would be better (dont know about NZ) for player availability.

We are in the process of talking details with TFF. It is more likely to be U20 event at this stage. We ll post details soon
