Last paragraph makes me laugh, talk of Overseas quota and transferring Visa for a current England International...

IIRC he played for England just before the GB split.
I think it was for a 4 nations tournament they were trailing.

Cooke played for England in the Federation Shield in 2006. It was an England/GB reserve squad, in effect.

The tournament was held in England and France whilst Great Britain played in the Four Nations down under.

Thanks I knew it was a reserve England/GB squad (I wasn't being a pedant honestly Coddy as I thought you classed any level as playing for your country.)
I have this mental image of Cooke lining up a kick whilst in an England shirt.
It was in the HDM IIRC.

Interesting readBut disciplinary action for a 2010 fight with a colleague means he is considered to have a criminal record.

But on 28 June 2012, L/Cpl Baleiwai heard that he had been refused citizenship and would also be refused Indefinite Leave to Remain because he had what the UK Border Agency (UKBA) classed as a criminal conviction so was not of "good character".[/i

Horne played at 7 for GB in the 2005 Tri national. He was a million miles of being effective though.
