[QUOTE="Immenso, post: 904742, member: 74361"] It's foreign nationals playing in those leagues. But it's not perfect way to measure it. There will be about an extra 40 NZers in those leagues but their Wikipedia nationality will not be NZ. Some will appear as foreigners in this table (but Samoan, Tongan, Australian). Some won't appear in that table at all as they are listed now as IRB nationals of that domestic league. Eg Bundee Aki & Jared Payne would be domestic Irish as per wiki, Veainu, Tuitavake, Tameifuna as Tongans in Eng/Fra, Vui as Samoan in England, Anscombe domestic Welsh, Mike Harris Australian in France, Budd domestic Italian, Hasketh, Broadhurst domestic Japanese etc etc. By the same token, on the minus side, there will be a some like David Smith, Frank Halai, Fekitoa who have NZ Wikipedia/IRB nationality who aren't really NZers.
