[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 968844, member: 40658"] The issue I have is that all this is about integrity. Integrity of the Sport. Integrity of selection policies. Integrity of sticking to one country. The way I see it, the idea is that there must be different parameters set for playing for a national team based on 1. Origin, 2. If this nation is a tier 2/3 nation, whether it can piggyback on a tier 1 nation, and 3. Allow certain ethnic groups to play for more than one nation. No matter how anyone wants to sugarcoat it, Surely there are better ways to go about solving the problem without bringing the entire sport into disrepute. We can't have the situation where one group abides by one rule, and another group by another set of rules. That's how rebellions start. Just to broaden the perspective, instead of looking at the PI, we used the Commonwealth. Then after the guys retire at the ripe age of 29 for their individual countries, they decide that they want to return within the Commonwealth framework, and all play for England or whoever that is part of the commonwealth.
