Who could you play for?

Now International Rugby League is (superbly) all the rage and everyone wants heritage players, who could you play for? 

I could play for England or Poland and possibly Lithuania. I’ve recently given up hope of an England call up but reckon I could do a job for the latter two. If they extended it to Great Grandparents it would open up even more possibilities, must write to the RLIF about that.

I could play for England or Wales, by the current rules of most international sports. The 'phone call has never come, for some reason...

Just to clarify by ‘do a job’ I meant drive the team bus or something like that. I’d get carried off after I’d been tackled a few times these days ?

I could play for Ireland or England except that I'm past it and wasn't even that good when I was younger.  I have to say that given the chance I probably would have preferred to play for Ireland as I'd imagine that they'd have more of the Craic.

Well, I like good beer, so I could never represent Australia. :kolobok_wink:

England only,

Both sets of grand parents are from Hull except my maternal grandfather who was from Nottingham, maternal great grandies also from Hull, my great great nanna was also Hull but she married a chap who was from Lancashire orig, so my blood is somewhat tainted by the West pennine lot uuuughh ? 

I might make the subs bench for my street if I was lucky hahahaha

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.

Experience tells me that identity is usually a simple thing when there are weak pressures on it.
