Lions on 09:32 - May 9 by robith | The residency rule should be 5 years full stop Stander and Payne are very different cases (to each other) - one took the opportunity to make a new life for himself, moved his whole family, the other had ended up an Ireland international pretty much by accident - I really like Payne but it doesn't sit well with me that he's a Lion. But LOL @ the thought that England don't try to convert players - they just do it at younger age levels (also Hughes in the current side). If he was so keen to play for England and qualified for them, you don't see the issue of trying for another country first ? Also, I'm keeping a lid on my temper here, but I'm am very very unhappy of you using the language of slavery to insinuate some racial bias on my part, so we'll just end this here, ta. |
Don't be daft, I was questioning your logic, not your morality. | |
