| Now that we have a handul of Aussies playing for our national team. Does anyone know how long, in terms of residency, or other criteria, it takes to become English ?
Also, do the same rules apply in RL as in other walks of life.

If your great great grandparent brushed past a man that has visited England at least once in his lifetime then you can be classed as fully blown English. Job done !

Does that apply to anyone, or is this a rule only for the man of steel.

| I strongly feel you're Nationality should be influenced by where you have lived the longest. So a 22yo Aussie can play for England when he's 45. Or 44 and a day etc.
I suppose it opens up people to lying about their past though - "I lived in PNG for 2 years, NZ for 3 years etc and Malaysia for a year" etc etc.
I suppose in today's very culturally mixed and PC countries governments are scared to death of alienating foreigners too long.
I think with modern record keeping time spent in places should be considered.

Agree.
But you also have to consider parentage and flukes of where people are born.

| By the looks of those on display in the first half against wales it should be for ever.Same as I said at the time the only thing it proves to me is they aint good enough to get in the Oz side.
