[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 255171"] Well siad genius. Vinikolo's situation is interesting, as he obviously doesn't feel huge affiliation (for want of a better word) to any country. He was born in Tonga, but moved to NZ at a young age, represented NZ in rugby league then moved to England in his mid twenties (still young in anything other than sport) and has been here for a few years. He now feels that he should represent England in rugby union, whether this is an educated choice, i.e. he thinks he has a better chance to play for England than NZ I don't know. I'm not sure if I like that very much! If someones represented a country in sport, that should tie him/her to that country for all sport, they shouldn't be allowed to switch. [/QUOTE]
