NRL 2023

Can you play for the Indigenous All Stars if you a Papuan New Guinean ? 

Does that make me eligible to play for all those countries in International Sport ?

With an ever-moving population these scenarios are going to pop up more and more, like Tyson Frizell, who is eligible for and has represented Wales (father born there), Australia (born here himself) and Tonga (mother born there).

I would draw that line at someone like Bundee Aki (amongst many others these days) playing for Ireland in Rugby as he only qualified from playing professionally there for a few years and realistically probably is only representing Ireland because he saw it as an easier path to international rugby than with the All Blacks, but if someone has links back to a nation via parents or grandparents, I see no problem with it.

"But no mention of the millions being spent on women  / girls taking up the game. Its almost as if its off limits to come out & say it is madness to promote women playing NRL when it will create mushed brains."

When the medical evidence suggests women are far more susceptible.

Same logic !
