@ARHS said in Region Of Origin SR Teams:
Anton Lienert-Brown and Tom Franklin would fill those slots. James Tucker and Kane Leaupepe also contenders. Atu Moli and Toby Smith might go in as props and Solomon Alaimano as back 3. Pretty strong combo.
Someone hasn't quite got the gist of the criteria. Or maybe i wasnt clear.
ALB is from chch and went to CBHS
Tucker and Alaimalo also Cantabs, both out of St Bede's. -
OK so this is MY silly team, so here are MY qualification rules.
Born in a region and went to HS in the same region is an easy qualification, and I'd say most guys would fall into this criteria.
Born overseas but NZ qualified? Then its where they went to school.
Born overseas, schooled overseas but NZ qualified? Then it's about the province first represented.
The hardest ones would be if a guy was born in, say, Auckland, and then moved elsewhere with his family at say, 15. Personally I'd say they qualify for wherever they ended up after several years of HS in the region followed by provincial representation. The likes of Siate Tokolahi and D McKenzie who won one year scholarships to Christchurch high schools, i dont count as Cantabs. Case by case with these i guess so let the debate flow in instances like this. -

@Chris-B said in Region Of Origin SR Teams:
@Stargazer I reckon someone like Riccitelli, who moved here as a four year old, should be eligible.
But not the kids from the Pacific Islands who came to school here on rugby scholarships.
Yeah birth is a weird way to judge. You could have a player born in Auckland and moved to Christchurch at age 3 and he’s being considered as a Blues catchment.
Growing up and high school should factor IMHO. (I haven’t checked thread rules just been following posters selections.
