Remember Jeff Clare who played for us a while back (late 80's/ early 90's maybe - sure someone can shed some light)? He used to throw the discus and was told he couldn't go for the olympics because he was a professional sportsman (bear in mind how little he would have earned playing for our A Team at that time). At the same time Tessa Sanderson turned down an invite to a grand prix because the money wasn't right. Since then they have becomless hypocritical and just let everyone in. Sorry for the useless trivia.

Rings a bell does that, though I don't think he was in the Commonwealth Squad. Henry Paul, Marcus St Hilaire and Paul Sampson played for England though, with Vainokolo and Vaikona in the Tonga squad (yes, Vainokolo has represented 3 separate countries in his sporting career).

Shows what a farce International RL is?!

Tony Carroll playing for Australia and New Zealand against the other team in the space of about 2 seasons was another embarrassment.

How long until players change nationality during the half time break?!?

There are many other interntaional team sports where you can play first team for two diferent countries though.

Henry Paul played RL for NZ and RU for England. He would've been allowde to play RL for England but very much doubt he would've been able to play RU for NZ.

In football, Almunia was apparently toying with the idea of playing football for England but could only do so as he hadn't been capped by Spain.

Although football did have Tony Cascarino who seemed to choose which country he wanted to play for, despite not living there or having any family links at all?!?
