Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2436648, member: 1764"] Again it's ridiculous that this issue is discussed with/about a player at the time they're pressing for selection. A document should be registered with the ARLC and IRLF from said player from his first contract answering Major International Team Allegiance, Minnow International Team Allegiance (if applicable), Provincial Team Allegiance (if applicable). Signed, dated, witnessed, job done. Obviously there would also be supporting documentation (birth certificates, immigration certificates, parent's birth certificates, playing history etc) to justify eligibility for those allegiances. So then when that player is pressing for selection, said rep coach/selector can enquire about an individual player's eligibility and see in plain black and white whether they are available. None of this "well, he was born in England, lived in Sydney from the age of 4 to 11, then Brisbane from 11 to 15, and Auckland from 15 to 21...so we can entice him to play for England on birth right, Australia on residency, QLD on first senior football, NSW on most time spent or New Zealand on residency grounds"...
