[QUOTE="jonny24, post: 589261, member: 62880"] I guess I shouldn't assume the highest paid would be the highest level of the sport. You'd figure that the talent would go where the money is, and it would bcome the highest level. That is, of course, without being discouraged to do so by their national union. But, if a player is still good enough to be selected even though he isn't playing Super Rugby, is it such a big deal that he isn't? I still think it is a bit odd to select teams based on where they play club. It seems to be a rugby thing? (Soccer) football players play anywhere and everywhere. And it's hard to imagine Russia and Sweden not selecting hockey players because they play in the NHL. I read the thread and the reasons, but it still seems to me that the best players should play for the national team, period. [/QUOTE]
