[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 579821, member: 39190"] Well they certainly came up through the SA ranks. As did many others that are jogging out for other countries and will jog out for other countries in the near future. I am firmly behind the NZ posters on here saying that there is an odd taste in the mouth WRT these players saying the 'feel' Scottish or English or French or whatever. If you are a mercenary that's fine be a mercenary but lets be honest about it. Hendre Fourie saying he sees himself as English, pfft, nothing more than PR spin doctoring; i know him and see his sister often; he is about as Afrikaans as they come. Eidt; Surely SA and NZ can say; we have put a lot of development as organizations into these players and if you want to represent SA at u20 level then we see that as a full commitment. You have the choice not to jog out for SA or NZ if you do not want to make that commitment but we don't want to waste that opportunity to represent us at u20 level on players who aren't interested in going up through our structures further.
