| I agree with most of what he's saying, except his reasoning for Henderson.
There's two issues as I see it:
1 - Players changing the country they play for (Brough, Henderson, Hayne etc). Once you've represented a country at senior level, you shouldn't be allowed to change IMO.
2 - (and this is what Brown is getting at), Rangi Chase, Fa-asavalu, Manu - players who are qualifying to play for England on vague residency rules, and who are simply not Englishmen. Spending just three or four years in a country does not make you of that nationality, and let's face it, once they've finished playing they'll be going back to their home countries.
New Zealand & Australia are the main culprits.

Do you think he would have played for one of the minor nations had the rule been "one country only"?
The Aussies and Kiwis use this rule a lot.

Do you also think we should not consider Brough, Bridge or Carvell?

| Didn't realise Henderson was born in England, has British parents and moved to Oz when he was young. Just like Reed. Fair play really, he's English.
