Just out of interst, how do you think "English" should be defined?

A thoroughly entertaining game and this is what you are talking about?

Looks like a duck, walks like duck, quacks like a duck.

Or ing born here would be a start.

Cas fans in "sticking up for Chase" shocker.

Think you are on wrong thread.

This is the "Rangi is not English thread and his selection embarrasses England" thread.

I think you need the "What cracking game (with a New Zealand MoM)" thread.

That is somewhere else on the forum.

HTH.

Bang on.

No not really.

So why click on a thread called "Rangi Accent".

What were you expecting?

And FYI, game was ok, drama was top drawer.

Still cant believe people are hung up on rangi playing for england..

Get over it.

So is he English or not then? I mean, he's got an Aussie accent. That makes him Australian right? I thought that was the opening argument?

Reed is English - born, if not bred.

Chase is a New Zealander, born and bred. Chase does not have an Australian accent.

Widdop has an English accent.

HTH

Ffs go to bed

You don't watch much NRL do you?

Chase has done enough to qualify for England, and has done for a number of years, why would we not pick him, when he's proved time and time again that he's a quality player?

Its not like dboy to post anything negative against something linked to Cas

People can adopt regional accents if they have lived there long enough...ever heard Jan Molby when he summaries on radio 5 ?

We still going on about this? It's not 1964, reality is every sport in the world will happily use non citizens for their country if it strengthens the chance of them winning something. You really think RL should or will be any different?

I see that well known Jap Craig Wing has just helped the Japan national RU team win a game for the first time.
