Napper said:I think
16yo (as kiwi said)
Nominate 1: top country Aus, NZ or England
Nominate 2 your heritage: 2nd tier nation.
Have world cups tri nations anzac tests etc
Every 2 yrs have heritage comp.
So in this Heritage comp youd have,
Nz: benji, foz etc
Aus: choc, slater, thurston etc
Samoa: SBW, Vatuvei, Matai
Tonga: mateo, Mason, Kite
And so on with Cook Islands, PNG, Fiji, Lebanon, Malta, Italy, France, Canada (to keep GE and his hat happy )
I'd love to see it. Imagine these small nations playing a competitive match against Aus and NZ? Samoa or Tonga could give England a run for their money easily!
Kiwi Eagle said:Restricting it to where you are born is a dumb idea, and nobody other than yourself has suggested it ...
Of all the names you mentioned, Webb and Fein are your only point, the others all have strong NZ links and roots
Why wouldn't NZ try to get kids born in Australia with 2 NZ parents to play for them, it is their heritage
What we have in this situation is a bloke who agreed, and signed a document declaring himself for NZ at international level, has now changed his mind completely and that isn't on, and he has stated it is for money, nothing else. Also the fact that Meninga has been constantly in his ear about it whilst knowing his declaration
