[QUOTE="gingergenius, post: 189754"] 1. Losing the ability to play for my country would stop me going abroad. It's sad that money > country for them. 2. Having said that, it seems a pretty stupid rule when your 1st choice players are all heading North. I could understand if it was only the Spencers, Jacksons and Fluteys who did it. 3. If I were a Super 14 player, I'd love to have a season in the Heineken Cup to experience a different competition. Michalak's got it right - he's won everything he can in Europe; he's joined one of the best S14 teams and could win that, plus seeing a new country and rugby culture, and then he'll go back to Europe. Perhaps the respective RFUs should arrange an exchange system... McAlister comes back and Carter goes out, or something along those lines. 4. It will make SH rugby stronger, having blooded new players at top level. 5. I find it funny New Zealand are going on a grand slam tour again, when the only thing that really matters in international rugby is the World Cup. Well done, you beat Wales and Scotland (normal), well done you beat Ireland (they're **** now), well done you beat England (they're a mess). [/QUOTE]
