[QUOTE="Sam Owen, post: 660644, member: 43087"] Frank is part Samoan read his book and not wikipedia. He wasnt considered for the All Blacks untill the All Blacks saw how good he was in the RWC for Niue, sorry I meant Samoa. For your last question, I'll break it down for ya so you can understand ok. So here it goes, you ready? Frank Bunce played for the Manu Samoa ok? we got that just like say Sitiveni Sivivatu played for New Zealand so we got that part sussed ok.. Then he was finally chosen to play for the All Blacks ok?..so now Samoa has lost a player right? Do you now understand? Anyway that getting away from our intial arguement, so lets get back to that because to carry on about Bunce is to run from the initial arguement. Frank Bunce is just an example that its already happened a long time ago. A player pledging his allegiance and then leaving for another country, there is no disputing thats what happened, it is what is. So now that its your countries team thats gonna have one of its former players play against them, its now that you have an issue with it. I understand your issue, Im just saying it happened ages ago because in your post it sounded like were saying that its yet to happen, it SOUNDED like what you were saying. Its happened and thats that, everything else is just an excuse. If you're gonna say 'but Bunce was..' bottom line he played for the Manu colours and then the Samoan colours. So back then our main player was Bunce and we lost him, now that its the Islands turn to do something similar, of all people the Kiwis should be supporting that, instead Im shocked to find that on TRF its mainly the N.H posters that support this and not our own Kiwi brothers (well some, like we all know who). Unbelievable! Please stick to the point of this thread and not stray, not saying you are just in the past when Im trading these kind of posts, it usually strays away from the thread. [/QUOTE]
