I would say there is a better than even chance of a New Zealand team competing in 2010. There are currently a few Kiwis in Shannon ACC, Ireland, plus a whole bunch in the Sand Pit just itching to see some snow. We might even get one or two from New Zealand itself. Failing that then look out for a combined NZ/Ireland team.
The sooner the 2010 website is up and running the better as it will take some time to organise leave, especially for those coming from downunder.
