[QUOTE="RedRoseDave, post: 413613, member: 52675"] It just seems to be getting worse and worse with selecting the "imports". Im afraid that in 4 more years time we will have over half the squad made up of foreigner players. I have 2 sons that both play rugby and are quite talented for their age and their dream is to play for England some day, just like all their friends that play. But i know that if they keep trying and trying and work their way up through the ranks and it gets to the point where they are in the mix for a squad selection...another kid from New Zealand or South Africa who grew up wanting to play for their home country but couldnt make it...will be selected ahead of our kids who have being wearing the red rose on their jerseys since they were 2 years old. And these guys who grew up HATING England (as the Aussies tell us on a regular basis) will now be playing for our country. Something isnt right! [/QUOTE]
