[QUOTE="Peat, post: 579824, member: 42330"] Ah, come on Nick, that is balls and you know it. There's absolutely nothing to stop a guy from feeling a part of two communities and being proud to represent either. Or for a guy to feel more connection to his parents' land than the land he grew up in, or even the land of his grandparents - which in the case of Isaac Boss, what I've heard on Ulster sites and seen from his interviews, is true in a sporting sense at least. And every method of eligibility can be abused. Even place of birth. Tom Heathcote was born on his parents' holiday in Scotland and never been back until he was capped to the best of my knowledge. He's as Scottish as Edward I. You'd have to have some very draconian restrictions in place to stop that. [/QUOTE]
