Plenty of Aussies have played for smaller Countries like Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Samoa, Tonga, Fiji etc....because they couldn't make the Kangaroos Team! I played with mates that Represented Italy, Lebanon, France, New Zealand & Fiji. I would, given the chance again play for Scotland, due to my Grandfather and the fact that only 0.00002% of our population could play RL for the "Green & Golds"! Your thoughts?
 
firstly you have to make the decision on what country you want to play for before you ever get an international cap and of course i would. i would play for any nation as long as i could say i've played in the world cup but if both my home nation and my ancestors nations qualified i would choose my home nation regardless of how less likely they are to advance to the next round

(Northern Ireland)
 
if i didnt make the Australian team i would play for Ireland, i dont see a problem with it because most people have more then one country in there background, but Australia would obviousley be first preference.
