[QUOTE="Ripper, post: 114310"] Jesus Christ, you still don't get it.... [b]THESE KIDS ARE NEW ZEALANDERS, VIRTUALLY ALL OF THEM HAVE LIVED IN NEW ZEALAND 20+ YEARS. ALL THIER SCHOOLING WAS IN NEW ZEALAND, MOST OF THE TIME THEY NEVER PLAYED AN ORGANISED GAME OF RUGBY BEFORE THEY ARRIVED IN NEW ZEALAND[/b] What can't you comprehend about that concept - they are only what they are because they have spent their whole Rugby playing lives in the New Zealand system, do you think that if a Kid who comes here when he was 3, and makes the All Blacks when he is 21 is poached, just because he was born in another country, but has spent 6/7 of his life in New Zealand? And your Doctors analogy doesn't work - they are "poached" when they are 20 years plus and have already proven themselves, these kids immigrate when they are still wearing nappies and can't even walk.
