Either way, it isn't Rangi who makes the rules, they were in place long before he joined Cas. Sam Burgess has expressed his desire to play Origin & why wouldn't he wanna play?

But fair play to you for pointing out he was Man of the Match last night, another man of the match accolade for the England International and Man of steel 2011.

Rangi Chase has an English family(wife and kid), is an English citizen and has lived in England for years. His own cousin tried to break his angle for being a traitor, supposedly.

Jack Reed is some guy who was raised in Australia and is Australian for all intents and purposes. To say he's more English than Rangi is puzzling, who lives here and has an English child? Not Reed.

Your views belong in the 1800s tbh. Wonder if you'd be so supportive of Reed if he was an ethnic Ugandan born in England and moved to Australia

Someone else brought Reed into it. He shouldn't play for England either.

Not sure what you mean with your last sentence...are you calling me a racist?

Fed up of hearing about this, all part of the RL insecurity complex. Get over it!

I find the whole nonsense debate more embarrassing than him wearing an England jersey ever was/is. No other sport naval gazes as much as we do, which is probably why they can concentrate on getting the important details right.

Why shouldn't he?

Eh? English people shouldn't play for England?

Flat cap alert

He shouldn't play because he is not good enough. Not that he is not a good player, just that surely we have better.

Is that "why, shouldn't he?", or is it as you have typed it?

He showed he was pretty damn good on friday night. He has his off days, who doesn't? Form is temporary, class is permanent.

That comment was about Reed.

Rangi is amazing on his day, no doubt about that.

Sorry. My mistake. Reed has struggled a little this year, & so have the Broncos. I rate Watkins, Cudjoe & Hardacker more so then Reed but there's time yet.

Dboy; I'm very busy, but enjoy reading your liberal and fair minded views on player representation. Could you please point me in the right direction to the threads you undoubtedly created about Chris heighington and maurie fa'asavalu (sp) were selected for England.
I only ask so together we can dispel the myth that you're anti-rangi and ultimately anti-Cas.

But not too busy to post your message twice?



If Rangi played for my team, I would still tell you he should not be picked for England - it's not a Cas thing.

Neither of the two you mention should have been picked for England.

Of course, the rules are the rules...is MacNamara wrong for picking him on that basis...I guess not.

And Zola Budd should not have been picked for GB either.

HTH.

I'm absolutely certain Chris heightington played for Engand when I went to watch them at Wembley against the Aussies in 2011

Obviously being a Fev fan, I have a genetic dislike of anything that wears black and amber.

However, as proud Englishman who wants his country to achieve something at the end of the season, I want the best available players wearing the St George's cross.

Sadly, Chase does not fit this description.

Yes he shown sheer brilliance for 15 minutes on Friday night and it was a joy to watch. But then he went missing for the rest of the game and it happens everytime I see Cas.

That's just not good enough for international rugby.

If only we could convince Danny McBrough to discard the kilt.......

I guess dboy also thinks that Mo Farrah shouldn't have represented GB in the Olympics considering he was born in Somalia?

Depend if Mo Farrah is a Cas fan or not

Well rules is rules...but how long was Farrah in this country for?

Perhaps if Rangi spent as much time in school in this country as Farrah, or learned his sport in this country like Farrah...

Don't think Farrah has ever used the term "bro".

And at no point does he use the term "bro".

Thanks for that Billy.
