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.

This is such a pointless thing to get uptight about. I reckon we could name hundreds and hundreds of players that represent countries they wern't born in.

The only issue is when players represent a nation and then change their minds to one of the 'big three.'

Uate, Mason, Hayne, Brough, Harrison, McIlorum etc. I just think if the international committee could get everyone's heads together and encourage players to stick with the smaller nations it would be better in years to come for International RL.

Nothing to see here ladies and gentlemen. This is a non-issue IMO. Poeple need to get over it. Rangi Chase is here to stay so we better start getting used to it.

To be honest I do not care were he comes from if he was Chinese I would not care has long has he is a good player, but in my opinion he is not good enough to play for England he goes missing to much
