    Yeah, strange attitude, kids with multiple passports can have very strong attachments to both / multiple countries.

    My boy considers himself equally a kiwi and japanese.

    I'm half Samoan and proudly consider myself Kiwi and Samoan so yeah, everyone's different of course.

    I remember Gareth Anscombe saying how he felt just as much of a connection to Wales growing up as his mother is Welsh after copping a bit of criticism for his Welsh call up, and I'm inclined to believe him being in a similar situation, and I assume Hoskins Sotutu would be in the same boat as someone like Anscombe so yeah, I don't see a problem with him changing allegiances.

    Part African and part monkey too. That’s a real melting pot of cultures

    No! You did NOT just call a half Samoan dude a monkey. That did not just happen!!

    Hmmmmm, it does look offensive when you put it like that.

    I didn’t make the connection though, I’m very insensitive sometimes.

      McCaw, Carter and Lomu are more than generational talents. They're GOATs of the game.

        Is it possible to have a separate Hoskins thread for the endless mastabatory nonsense?

                      If true fuck off then, sooner rather than later if you'retaking up space for a promising young loosie who could be playing NPC, and don't let the door hit you on the arse.

                        In news I didn’t see coming, Ireland has come out against 20 minute red cards. Irish rugby, as custodians of the game (quiet for the kicker now) are all about player welfare (except when Porter breaks Retallick’s jaw in an accidental absorbing tackle of course)

                            Geez are we still talking about Sotutu. So he’s going to go and play for England even though he’s contracted to NZ for next couple of years.
                            The guy is a fluffy bunny who was told to go and work on his fitness. “This is the level we want our loose forwards at “ he didn’t even get close.
                            Caleb Clarke was told he needed to shed weight and he did exactly what he was asked. Now he’s arguably the number one winger.
                            Don’t put it back on the coaches when you wont do the hard work. Mentally weak individual.

                                Razor was much better mates with Todd Blackadder than he ever was with Waisake Sotutu

                                  Sititi is an exciting talent but let's not forget that he struggled in the collisions against SA like he did in the Super Rugby final and in all those instances he was part of a losing team.

                                  He's stood out against Australia, done OK against SA as the game developed, and failed big time against Argentina. He was a big part of that Argentina loss giving away 3 penalties in 20 minutes.

                                  Sotutu is also a generational talent - arguably the most talented loose forward for creating tries in the last 10 years. Ultimately rugby is about scoring more tries.

                                  Yip when I think of generational talents, the names McCaw Carter Lomu and Sotutu roll off the tongue.

                                          Haters are gonna hate.

                                          Folks that know their Rugby can see that Hoskins Sotutu is some player.
