So, why is it different at club level? Should everyone who plays for a club have some sort of birth connection with the town that the club is in?

I have no problem with Rangi playing for England the only problem i would have was if he did a Brough swapping and changing as it suits.

He has. He played for NZ Maori against England this time last year; ie, played for his country and the nation that represents his ethnicity. I agree about Brough too. Players like Brough and Rangi devalue the international shirt, because it is something they can just pop in and out of when they feel like it.

I sort of agree but also accept its the way it is now, Name me a squad that doesnt include players born outside its borders?
