Message: [QUOTE="Morepudding, post: 3089708, member: 8923"] Nah if you're playing for NZ / Tonga you shouldn't be allowed to play Origin. One is a domestic comp, one is international. Sure at this stage Origin is miles bigger than international matches in terms of money etc, but thats just because the audience / money outside of australia is small. The gap between the top countries and smaller ones is shrinking each year, partly due to to neither team having really top grade halves. Previously the big reason Australia and NZ were so dominant is becuase their playmakers were several classes above. Lockyer, JT, Cronk, Marshall, Foran etc. They were all so much better than the make shift halves that the smaller nations would come up with. These days, Munster, DCE, Keary etc, aren't that much better than a lolohea or a centre/second rower (staggs) playing in the halves. [/QUOTE]
