LIVE: Wallabies v Springboks - Rugby Championship

Hey genius, has there never been any athletes get away with it or have it covered up, ever? Again, just cause you're upset doesn't mean it's not true. But you should continue to support the Syringeboks.

But all three have def maximized their potential in Ireland in a way they would not have been able to do had they stayed at home

That absolute BS, when did you come up with this idea?

All three were well on track to being All Blacks. They simply decided it was smarter to take the money right now rather than slog on for another 3 or 4 years waiting for their opportunity to line up.

Many AB quality players have not even got the chance to earn a cap for heavens sake, it is simply as you suggest elsewhere, better utilization of global talent to have them qualify for another nation.

The only problem is that the ABs get all the best players, mostly because they pay more, and the island nations, even the home nations, just get those that can't make it or want a bit more limelight.
