[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 710646, member: 38640"] Yeah, he's Maori...he's played with the Maori rugby league team. I'd be willing to guess his fathers connection to Scotland will be tenuous. I think what separates it is that he's clearly a New Zealander who has chosen to play for New Zealand in rugby league. I don't believe for a second he ever has had any sense of dual nationality. It's even worse than someone like Shontayne Hape and Lesley Vainikolo IMO, as he hasn't played any rugby in Scotland (I'm not sure he's even been to Scotland before...). Fair play to him if he decides its a move he'd like to make, but I'm not sure how as a Scottish person I could have any pride in the Scotland team with the way they are recruiting. [/QUOTE]
