[QUOTE="FlukeArtist, post: 532975, member: 42995"] I hear what you are saying, but why then does no one say anything about players descended from English immigrant families playing for NZ? Once again- it simply comes down to skin colour. His argument is debunked when you look at the English football and rugby teams, which have black players (descended from immigrants obviously), and the cricket team has had a few players of asian descent playing for them... they even had a captain called Nasser Hussein for gods sake! Were they all poached?? NO. Seems weird to me he that guys like that poster (who you quoted) are willing to accept these guys as "English" but can't accept a Jerry Collins as a NZer [/QUOTE]
