[QUOTE="MikeTheNative, post: 918216, member: 74084"] I agree if that someone is saying Velacot has been poached from Scotland it is ridiculous. I don't like to use the word poach as it sounds a bit over the top and you can't blame a team for selecting a player who qualifies for them. I just find it odd Moriaty was used an example he has Welsh parents and lived most of his life in Wales, I don't see how you can claim he isn't Welsh despite living 3/4 of his life in Wales. As I said there seems to be myth that it was the English system that made him, I suppose it was if you ignore the part of him living his childhood in Wales. [/QUOTE]
