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.

HULL KINGSTON ROVERS is my religion, Craven Park is my church and Jordan Abdull is my God:

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.

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.

totally agree with you philb, its a load of bollox this residency/grandparents/friends/mothers cousin lark, when you start messing about letting overseas players play for GB makes a mockery of the game!
I think Manu is a class player, but seeing him in a England shirt, would be just wrong!!

This is the thing that really sticks in my throat about it all. Besides the issue of whether or not it should be allowed, in many cases people ignore the reasons as to why the players want to do so in the first place. Often it's because they are being ignored by their main country. It's insulting IMO, and how on Earth feeding from cast-offs will help close the gap is beyond me.

I'm personally against it anyway, even if it would be for someone as good as Manu.

Manu strikes me as a very proud Tongan. I'd be surprised if he wanted to play for England.
