Think its wrong myself. Seeing Faasavalu playing for England is plain wrong. Also seeing Henry Paul, Vainakolo and now Shontaine Hape playing for England RU is a joke too.

NO!!!



I am not discussing Great Britain representation am I...ENGLAND and SCOTLAND are 2 different teams....the same as the bleedin TONGANS

To be honest with you i've always thought you should only ever be able to represent the country of your birth in whatever sport you play and it can only be reviewed in exceptional circumstances. None of this residency or Grandparent/Parent messing about

Henry Paul was a kiwi until he started to play union!

Maybe so...but the thing is the bar has now being set and players do represent different countries, so imo Manu should be considered if he now qualifies.

It shouldn't happen and not because he plays for Hull either. Clint Newton is the same and i wouldn't want him considered for selection either.

I do not necessarily disagree...but the fact remains it is happening..will be interesting to see if he is in with a shout as he has been outstanding so far this season.

George Fairbairn won caps for England. It's nothing new.

As barriers of geography and language fall, it'll happen more.

I suspect a sense of civic identity will outlast the national.

Tis the affect of Globalisation which is upon us in every area of our lifes

thought newton could only play for the USA or australia?? saying that tho...at least 5/6 of your squad can play for who the hell they like....



especially when it comes to new contracts and passports

There's an Aussie backrower about to make himself available for England after being ignored by Aussie selectors, can't recall his name, where's Sheldon when you need him.

Chris heightington? not sure on spelling
