[QUOTE="Chetto4, post: 935931, member: 79310"] I mean, the fact the non-italian names are more noticable doesn't change the fact that the same thing happens in all NT, in some more than in others but it still happens. Let's consider Scotland for a second (nothing against Scotland, it's just the easier team to use as an example). Dell, Nel, Strauss, Sam Johnson, Grigg (just to name a few) are all non born-and-raised in Scotland. Some play for Scotland because of residency and some beacause they have scottish roots. Exactly tha same situation of Polledri, Sisi, Steyn and the others. I don't see any difference to be honest but maybe I'm wrong. And again, Scotland is just an example, Aki and Stander aren't exactly irish, Anscombe and Parkes didn't spend their whole life in Wales and sure Atonio and Willemse are not french. Anyways, I hope more italian born-and-raised guys will prove to be ready to play for the NT soon and I think it will happen in the next few years. [/QUOTE]
