[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 957231, member: 39240"] Well in Europe players get paid alot everywhere. Does that mean if I get 1 cent for playing I'm deemed professional? Yes those lads moved when younger for education but why didn't they play for the country of their birth? And while CJ and Aki have to have contracts approved it comes out of Munster budget. So not being obtruse but why reward New Zealand for being able to offer better education from poorer islands as opposed to a different dynamic here. The reason guys like Rokococko prefer New Zealand is they can't play provincial rugby in New Zealand (well chances are minimized) when your a non-NZ player and also financially it isn't as good. Isa Nacewa can preach on that and is a superb story with great insight. So You either go full hog or not. [/QUOTE]
