[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 392178, member: 38640"] Not really. Because you are eligable for a team, it doesn't mean you are being taken from it, does it? Almost every New Zealand rugby player, was either born, has a parent or a grandparent who was born in another country. Has Scott Waldrom been disadvantaged by having his one All Black game, as apposed to playing for England? Fact of the matter is, you play for the country you want to play for, and if you play one minute of rugby as an All Black, it's still a minute more than four other New Zealanders. I can kind of see your point in terms of distribution of international talent, however there is no unfairness about it. [/QUOTE]
