Quote: wrencat1873 "Indeed, to change your nationality, just to play international sport just make someone a mercenary, playing only for financial reward.
I know that lots of sports and many different nations allow it but, it doesn't make it right.

Once a person has represented their country (at any level) that should be it, no changing.'"

My thoughts exactly.

Quote: shinymcshine "The heart says that a player should only play internationals for the country of their birth....


But the head says why deny a player the opportunity to play at top international level (tier 1) just because they were born in a country where RL hasn't yet fully developed (tier 2).'"


Your heart is talking sense.

Your head isn't.

The international game is already a laughing stock without players treating it like club rugby.

The reality is that Pacific Island nations are some of the poorest places on earth.
Any young guy from PNG, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga etc who gets a chance to earn a million dollars, or even a thousand dollars, will grab it with both hands in the blink of an eye.
Your first world perspective that they should put country before money is completely unrealistic.
Semi Radradra is a millionaire who plays for Australia. 3 years ago he probably earnt less than $5000 a year and lived in a hut with a dirt floor and no electricity.
