[QUOTE="AfakasiAssasin, post: 427824, member: 50580"] I see your point. As I said my standpoint is if the jonnys will help the team to play better than from a fans standpoint Id be happier to see them in the team than not. Take Finau Maka and Soane Tonga'uiha for example, they were a 'Jonnys' at the last RWC and look how much of an impact they brought to the team. It would be hard pill to swallow for the more commited but less talented players currently vying for a spot in the team. But at a RWC you need your very best and if there are better players availiable than, its tough but thats the hard decisions the coach and selectors have to make for the team to perform to their upmost potential, Im sure Kurt Morath has sacrificed alot out of his own pocket to play for Tonga. But if he plays to the form at the RWC that he has been in the last year for Tonga then Im certain he will surely score himself a contract playing in Europe or Japan.
