Alby Mathewson - South Africa[/b]

He's listed as a Saffa in Rugby 08 too, lucky the AB's picked him up.

Oh sorry but remember?: his brother Gregoirre was playing for Georgia

It was surprising for me Dimitry was not with Les Bleus on RWC 2007

Let's be honnest Gregoire played for Georgia because he's not good enought to play for France.We'll see what happens with the little Yachvili who looks like being very talented even more than Dimitri at the same age. Dimitri unfortunately like Biarritz has not been playing well for two seasons and that's why he wasn't selected for the RWC 2007

It says on the Hurricanes website that he was born in Hastings.

what they should have, is that if you don't make the team you want to play for like the ABs or Wallabies, your allowed to go play for your country of birth or origin.

Tonga could do with some of the below players!

1. Saimone Taumoepeau
6. Sione Lauaki
12. Sam Tu'itupou/Tane Tu'ipulotu
13. Lifeimi Mafi
14. Doug Howlett
15. Mark Gerrard

And Samoa's team would be crazy good!
