    Aussie team at the last rugby World Cup had 9 non Aussie born players in the squad, including 5 Kiwis!

    It's a ****ing mess mate.

    I'd have thought citizenship ought to be the main criterion, but then Froome is a citizen without ever having lived here.

    Both his parents were British. My son has a British Passport despite having been born here in NY and having an American mother.

    Many use 'nationality' as a flag of convenience knowing that sponsorship deals etc pay a lot more in certain countries...

    Agreed. I didn't know that about Farrah....he's ours!
    Federer is the best player ever and I reckon he will win it this year.
    I find it hard to know where to draw the line with some of these nationality issues.

    Murray is far more engaging than he's given credit for and a much better player than many people recognise too.

    True. Felt a bit sorry for Venus for nostalgic reasons.

    Currently watching and hoping that Kubot/Melot win the men's doubles.

    Haven't seen any one in an R's hooped shirt anywhere in the crowd.
