The meeting was held at the request of the SARU to explore the best way to involve the Pacific teams in the revised SANZAR competition format in 2010.
FRU Chairman - Keni Dakuidreketi says the three unions have presented their case and now SANZAR will discuss it with their partners and come back with a decision.
