some of these selections are farcical.
- tony williams is australian born to tongan parents, has previously played for the junior kangaroos and tonga in the rlwc, nobody ive heard from can explain how he is even eligible.
- zeb taia is australian born to cook islander parents, and qualifies for nz because the cook islands are a nz dependency!
- Ukuma Ta'ai played for tonga in last years pacific cup.
- bryson goodwins father (or uncle) played for australia, he qualifies through one nz grandparent (which is within our rules, it is just a bit weird considering his families rugby league history)
- fetuli talanoa played for tonga from 06-08, ben roberts had previously switched from nz to samoa for the rlwc, and we all know fui fui's switches, tonga-nz-tonga-nz.
