[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 957255, member: 55747"] I dont think it is. I wouldn't stamp out residential rule, but i would make it very, very difficult for players and RU's to play around with it. Again, pick one, stick with it, no excuses, no exceptions after that. You (i mean the player) could even delay the moment of picking in case you are in doubt. I dont like it but i would tolerate it. Again, the difference is fundamental, ontological almost. For me, the most beautiful thing, by a mile, is that you [U][B]don't[/B][/U] choose your country. That is what makes this competition so alluring. All nations get a hand of cards, and they gotta play with that. This cherry-picking where those with deepest pockets can buy cards from those with thinner wallets kinda takes away all the fun. It ruins it. If i want to watch a team purchase the best players money can buy i just watch club rugby. This is supposed to be something different. And it's not just me or Argentines. I have no doubt, at all, that any Uruguayan would cut his veins before giving up his team and representing another country (Arg), even when that resulted in much more money or him. At club level, sure, but at a national level, not in a million years. [/QUOTE]
