[QUOTE="TRF Mr Fish, post: 579679, member: 20892"] Sorry, you misunderstood. The fact that Scotland etc. is picking up NZ's sloppy seconds doesn't make it any less of a poach. Scotland are still gaining at NZ's expense (the investment put into Maitland). I don't think your ancestors should come into the picture at all, if should purely be a case of having to reside in a country for 5 years before you qualify for their team. As it stands, what Scotland did is perfectly fine under IRB rules - I don't think that makes it right. Whether Scotland are enticing great players, good player or crap players, it's still poaching.
