what would your team look like if you could select anyobne who qualified?
Just thinking about Maitland and Scotland. It got me thinking about what a team could look like if all players who could have qualified had been available for selection.By this I mean players who are disqualified because they have played for another country, play overseas, are injured, or have changed sports.
For reference the criteria are:
1) The player must be born in a country (e.g. Dylan hartley could play for NZ)
2) A parent or Grandparent must be born in a country (e.g. O'Conner could play for NZ)
3) A player must have lived for 36 consecutative months in a country (e.g. Tonga'uiha could play for NZ)
Here's an example I've whipped
Team that played last game vs my team
15 Dagg Dagg (Incumbent)
14 Jane Jane (Incumbent)
13 C Smith C Smith (Incumbent)
12 Nonu SBW (Playing rugby league)
11 Savea Savea (incumbent)
10 Carter Carter (Incumbent)
9 A Smith Paranara (Injured)
1 Woodcock Woodcock (Incumbent)
2 Mealamu Hore (Banned)
3 O Franks O Franks (Incumbent)
4 Retallick Retallick (incumbent)
5 Whitelock Whitelock (Incumbent)
6 Messam Kaino (Club rugby Japan)
7 McCaw (c) McCaw (C) (Incumbent)
8 Read Read (Incumbent)
16 Coles Mealamu (incumbent)
17 Crockett Tonga'uiha (Tonga - went to school and played NZ )
18 Faumuina Hayman (Plays for Toiulon in France)
19 Romano Thorne (retired international rugby & plays club rugby in Japan)
20 Vito Messam (incumbent)
21 Weepu Weepu (incumbent)
22 Cruden Evans (Plays club rugby for harliquins in England)
23 Smith O'Conner (Australia - Parent born in New Zealand)
So how would your team look? E.g. Would England look any different. There are a number of Home nations players who were born and lived in England, quite a few ex internationals who have played for English clubs for more than 3 years, and then there's the question of grandparents....
