[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 703352, member: 55446"] And fair play to him. You can have more than one nationality. These players moved before the dual contracts came into effect (North moving even though he wanted to stay in Wales) and are midway through that contract. They didn't turn down a dual contract like Owen did. They didn't ignore Gatland's preference for home-based players. All I'm saying is that Anscombe has worked harder to come and play for Wales than Owen has, so I don't understand why people feel so aggrieved that he's being picked. Not judging Owen for staying in the Premiership either; he seems to want the money and footfall of the Premiership, fair play to him if he deems that to be more important than international recognition. But no one should feel offended on his behalf because he knew the risks when he turned down the dual contract. [/QUOTE]
