allora da una piccola indagine mi risulta che:
Nonu Umaga Weepu sono
nati e formati in nz
Rocokoko nato a Fiji ma
dall'eta' di 5 anni in nz
Muliaina samoa ma
formato nelle schools nz (a 18 anni gia era in nazionale nz schools)
Sivivatu e Lomu samoa ma
formati in wesley College Pukehoke
So oialo samoa ma
alle secondary schools (liceo) gia giocava a wellington
quindi oltre ad essere nati, si sono formati in nuova zelanda e si sono fatti tutta la trafila delle nazionali giovanili per arrivare al mitico cap con gli allblacks...
quindi per favore un po di attenzione nell accostare noi e loro.sono assolutamente imparagonabili.
quindi il tuo discorso, sulla formazione almeno cade.
la nascita secondo me e' ininfluente.chi se ne frega della cittadinanza?
nella carriera di un giocatore di rugby internazionale, molto spesso e' la formazione che conta di piu, e che comunquie legittima la potenza di una nazione: piu giocatoriformo, piu sono forte,. anche se qualcuno di questi poi impazzisce e mi veste altre casacche.
Qui invece si parla di gente formata in altri paesi (robertson, wakarua Griffen Del fava Parisse Pez ecc......) che arriva bella pronta, un po da sgrezzare e vestire la maglia azzurra.
