Pulga Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Australia, Scotland, Ireland and England. None of my grandparents were born in Australia but I was. I don't really have a preference. I would play for them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hallucinating Goose Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 England and Ireland. Some Scottish ancestry a little way back and potentially some Spanish about 500 years back, does that fit into the eligibility rules? I wouldn't last long, can barely run 10 metres these days without getting a stitch and at the start of the year I ran about 100 metres after a game to catch a bus and pulled my hamstring, still hurts a little even now...

DiH68 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Well if they had women’s over 45s teams I could play for England (by birth) and Australia (by residency - after 14 years)... personally could never play for Aus though - I’d feel like a traitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17 stone giant Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 11 hours ago, The Future is League said: England and Ireland for me, but its a mystery to me why people don't want to play for the country that they were born and bred in, or have lived most of their life's. I think most people do. However, if they're concerned that they're not going to be good enough to get into their 'own' country's team, it's understandable that they will look at what alternatives they have, if it means they might have opportunity to play in major tournaments etc. For example, I remember Matt Holland (footballer) saying that he always regarded himself as English, but clearly he wasn't going to be good enough for the England team, so when the Republic of Ireland came along and asked him to play (because of his Irish grandma), he jumped at the chance. It enabled him to play in the 2002 World Cup. I would have done exactly the same, if I were him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trojan Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I could certainly have qualified for Yorkshire at cricket In the old days. If I'd been good enough. At RL I'd only qualify for GB or England. I suppose if you traced my ancestry back far enough I could play for a Scandinavian country - I'm reliably informed by surname is Norse in origin. “Few thought him even a starter.There were many who thought themselves smarter.
