[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 923457, member: 40658"] I think we're speaking past one another, because I agree with you on their livelihoods as professional players, but the money isn't for international appearances, it's for Club appearance. Why else do all the top players move to France/UK where they get paid better, but still feature for their home country like so many guys do. I have no problem whatsoever with Stander playing for Munster. I'm actually advocating that all our guys should go abroad where the big bucks are. I have an issue with him representing Ireland. Especially when he proudly sang the South African National Anthem as a 20 year old and there are interviews of him saying he wants to be a springbok. It's again about patriotism and for a guy that was brought up as an Afrikaans Boerseun, with our unique culture representing any other country apart from SA is exactly my point that they are Mercs.
