Surely, no International teams should be hand picked. All anglers should be given the opportunity to qualify for their country.

The Engish team is not the only Team from the UK that is not picked by the Governing body TEFF.Scotland and the Northern Ireland Team's have nothing to do with the governing bodys.Which is SANA in Scotland and UAF in Northern Ireland.That would make the links with the Commonwealth very loose ones where this competition is concerned.

Could someone tell me is it true that there are no caps for the Anglers in the Commonwealth competition?

So this competition is not a true international. Because there is NO international CAPS for it.

So that's the only reason that TAFI could put out a team in that competition. Seeing it is not a full international. Good luck to all that are fishing it.

It hasn't anything to do with TEFF and, as Captain says wasn't discussed at the TEFF AGM.

It is run by Dave Grove who selects and organises the team. He does used anglers from current TEFF International teams. The teams have a good record in the event.

It is self funding and has a little sponsorship. Hence the fundraisers. Tasmania is an expensive trip!

Lets wish the team well as they are out there for a few weeks enjoying the weather and fishing.
