I'd like to ask, therefore, how you feel about (say) Maurie Fa'asavalu? Or Danny Brough? Or Anthony Minicello? In fact let's widen the debate - how do you feel about Greg Rusedski? Kevin Pietersen? Craig Keiswetter? The list goes on...

If I can just give you my opinion.

I was disgusted that Fa'asavalu played for England. I put that down to Tony Smith being an Aussie and not caring about our game. McNamara has no excuse.

I actually think Brough is better than Chase (and before anyone gets angry, I actually think Chase is class too!), but I don't think he should have played for Scotland as he's English. Now he's played for Scotland, I don't think he should even be allowed to change his mind, let alone be selected.

As for the other three, they're not really sports I'm bothered about, but have the same belief that none of them should be representing England. And neither should Rangi Chase, no matter who he plays for or how good he is.

Regarding "Well done Rangi," perhaps?

I seem to be getting that sinking feeling. Let's read on....

Mmmmm. Well done Rangi coming up possibly?

That'll be a "no," then.

You may not have noticed, but elsewhere on the forum there is a thread that discusses whether Rangi Chase should be playing for England. It's somewhat misleadingly headed "Should Rangi Chase play for England?"

Maybe these comments would have been better employed on that thread instead of this.

Maybe we should use the swear filter so when anyone says 'Rangi Chase isn't English' 'Rangi Chase shouldn't play for England' etc, it automatically posts the link to that thread instead.

PS: Well done Rangi; born in Dannevirke, made in Castleford, bearing fruit for England.

Decent year for Rangi. Albert Goldthorpe winner. Man Of Steel Winner. International honours. And some decent words from arguably the best player in the world. http://www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... ml&BID=480 As for "Danny Brough's better - yeah, sure he is.
