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.

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.

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.
