Majority of the teams have naturalized players in their squad. Act like NZ, Aus and England haven't benefitted from Samoans, Tongans, Fijians, South Africans, Kiwis, Aussies.

That's player poaching from white trier 1 nations, England, Australia just poach (steal) and call it a day, US and Canada tend to take any decent enough REJECT and make him an international.

I have no vested interest in tier 2 rugby politics, I was just joking around.
:ehh:

I'm worried about Ireland in the quarterfinals :sadcam:... Those Conor Murray box kicks vs our predictable Boers:mjcry:

Edit: One of my favorite rugby moments in history is the Shona Speedster from Zimbabwe, Takudzai Ngwenya leaving Bryan Habana for dead in that 2007 World Cup pool game. (South Africa vs USA ).. The build up play alone was crazy...Todd Clever giving Butch James the mother of all fends :wow:

I'm a Tier 1 rugby nation. I'm pointing out that naturalized persons is more common in rugby than just the Tier 2 and below sides.

Half of Canada is made up of people from elsewhere.

That was magic. Habana said his teammates shyt on him for like a year afterwards because at the time he was considered the fastest man in rugby.

Just go to Hawaii. Or what they should do is target the players who don't get drafted in the NFL draft, or ones who are on practice squads for a couple of years.

Physically maybe, but those guys aren’t playing rugby from jump, don’t know tactics etc. US need help NOW because they are atrocious in every phase of the game

That's why the 7s team is so good. Baker and Isles are football castoffs and they're arguably the best wingers in the business.
