[QUOTE="Booboobang, post: 1180601, member: 86230"] I agree its so odd. I get project player arguments. But like, I for example was born in france to an english father and scottish mother then grew up in britain from age 1... I speak no French and have no ties to the country. Nationality is far more complex than where your mother birthed you. Marcus smith, born philiphenes, to a british parent, started rugby in Singapore; most of his development in britain from teens... so in this idea he just isnt english? Bizzare. Tom roebuck, born in scotland, but I bet if you spoke to him he in no way feels any ties there other than family and would do anything to play for england. [/QUOTE]
