My favourite example of how fluid international selection can be fluid.
Aku Uate lived in Fiji till he was 16.
At 17 he was selected to play for Australian schoolboys and they got him in front of a microphone at a Newcastle Knights function to talk about his selection, and after about a minute it became clear that he didn't speak enough English to understand the questions - he pretty much still spoke Fijian and a bit of broken English.

A Fijian born State of Origin player who has represented Australia and Fiji.....proof that the Aussies will bend and shape the rules to suit them!

So you're saying the rules have never been bent for the French?
I moderated a forum during the last WC in Australia, and we decided before the cup to have a "shoot on sight" policy for Union trolls.
They see the League WC as something they must ruin for as many people as possible.
Usually, union trolls are just conversation starters and fun to have around, but during a WC they can bring down the mood for everyone when we should be enjoying the game.
