[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 570027, member: 45598"] I'd be the same, however I think it would be different if I actually had proper family connections with another country. If I were a pro rugby player I'd be eligible to play for both Ireland and England but I don't think I could play for England considering I've never really supported them at all not just when they're playing against Ireland and I don't feel like I'm English in the slightest and none of my family do either. I'd say Maitland supported Scotland when he was younger just not when they were up against the All Blacks and considering he has close enough Scottish family I think he probably does feel he's Scottish. The Lions is different though, I don't think a person can fully appreciate the Lions unless they have grown up in Britain or Ireland or one of the four teams has been the team they supported their whole lives.
