Errrm, they are.
They may not all have been born in Australia, but I'm sure I don't have to trot out that quote attributed to the Duke of Wellington about his Irishness do I...?

To be fair, the poster brought that up due to the original quote about players should only play for the country where they were born.
RL fans seem obsessed with this, when no other sport is. |

It mattered just the same to the fans watching in the stands like me and the players on the pitch that they were representing THEIR country. I certainly got that from the Scottish fans that were there, just a shame the match wasn't further publicised really, it was hard enough trying to find the ground as even most locals didnt know where it is.
Back to the representation arguement, how many South Sea Islanders have been 'naturalised' through Australian and NZ citizenship to play for their resepctive Union/League sides , and we have a far smaller population of 5m (Scotland) and < 3m (Wales) from which to pick players from , if you want to see an entirely Welsh RL side, do come down to Neath and watch the South Wales Scorpions as we can realistically achieve that now.As for Scotland historically its harder for them to do so than us do to the development of the sport in the country, I think they are a few years off what we have now in Wales but an Edinburgh Eagles/et al Championship 1 side in a couple of years is possible. Atleast this tournament is competitive and which actually have one instead of going years without an international match ,that cannot be allowed toi happen again.'" Excellent post mate. |

Indeed, they are as Welsh or Scottish as those "Aussie" players. |
