[QUOTE="Brodizzle, post: 147604"] As the Samoan goalkicker said after the South African game, as kids Islanders usually look towards playing for the All Blacks first as thier ultimate goal, then towards thier own Island nations if they don't make the cut.....I don't think that the All Blacks are poachers in the NH sense as the Islanders see the All Blacks as the ultimate and usually make the first step to play for the All Blacks, and of course many of them live in New Zealand anyway....the NZRU basically props up Island rugby anyway so it's hardly like the NH who simply dangle the carrot in front of a player. In the end the difference= they both poach yet the difference is that the NZRU actually develops Island regions so are not simply ravaging the Islands of talent... [/QUOTE]
