[QUOTE="ZeFrenchy, post: 578608, member: 47244"] National sides represent sovereign nations. By your logic Thierry Dusautoir and Yannick Nyanga should be playing for their respective african ethnic group instead of France. I suggest this user should be banned for racism. The All Blacks represent the nation of New Zealand, there is nothing to do with "blood". A New Zealand-born Samoan is called a New Zealander. If his ethnicity is Samoan, he can play for a side that represents the Samoan ethnicity (sort of like the NZ Maori, though I am strongly against team eligibility being ethnicity-based). I have very little respect for a national side that has no participation in the formation of its players. [/QUOTE]
