I absolutley agree with the amount of players the SSI can field, there is some exceptional tallent out there that deseve to be seen playing international RL.

For the game to expand, some rules need to be put in place and those at the head of the game need to stick by there guns

It seems to make obvious sense to every one but the aussies and the kiwis, just like in football, you should play for the international team where you were born,i appreciate that some of these guys have spent 10 plus years playing RL away from there places of birth, so if you've lived some where for X years or have dad and the opportunity to pick one of two nations fine but once you've played for the kiwis or the tongans or the australians there should be no opportunity to change

Its obvious to every one this is a rule that needs sorting

Its also great to see matteo standing by his herritige and playing for the Tongans, I have no doubt that he would be in the Kiwi side this year otherwise

you are a total clown. the all blacks aren't half as bad as you lot as for racism what point was racist in any way, shape or form? stop burying your head in the sand and admit your ashamed of your countries selection policy you jackass!

"Tongan captain Feleti Mateo is desperate for more matches, but says part of the problem is the international game's strict rules on eligibility."
