[QUOTE="sifplay, post: 578751, member: 69042"] Let me make it short for you. The issue wasn't about where they were born. Not at all. The issue really was guys being selected for Samoa then performs internationally then get picked by NZ and Samoa had to go find another player. Irrespective if he was born in Samoa Hong Kong NZ or on the moon. He played for a country and when he performed was suddenly drafted by another country like if Samoa was some development test team to see if they are any good at international level or not. That is why the ruckus was about Bunce, Irramea, Vandiri etc etc because they chose to play for Samoa and Fiji first. Rockocko and others who played for the Kiwi's first no one really bothers about. Its just when Samoa build a good team or starting to build one their best players got selected for NZ. That was the issue. Which have been fixed with the one country ruling. Suddenly Samoa are winning against bigger nations and have some consistency thanks to them not loosing their best players year in year out and do not have to build over and over again. Understand it now? [/QUOTE]
