    Its is an amusing situation where fans can justify players playing for their country in football, using terms as, the country must use all the laws it can to improve the team, and if they feel Welsh then that is good enough. However if that sport is then Cricket or Tennis, then how can people support this impostor.
    I'm against it in all sports tbh.

    Okay cheers for clearing that up.
    I do though believe others have replied to your stance with a plausible rationale so I won't add anything.

    I will say in general to this type of discussion though that nationality depends on what the individual person feels inside.
    Only they themselves will truely know that.
    How far does one go back before one doesn't feel the patriotism of their ancestors?

    good, then i would agree, i hope to see a thread along this lines when Wales play their next game and Willams (Johnny and Ashley), King, Vokes, Robson-Kanu, and the others get similar treatment.

    You are right, i woke up this morning and i felt, quite Japanese, yet the people in work are laughing at my national dress. How dare they deny my nationality.

    I'm sure there will be the day they play competitively for England and then decide to play for Wales based upon money.

    She has never represented Australia in the FED cup, or she wouldn't be able to play for GB. So hasnt really represented Austria, she was just playing Tennis as an Australian. Ashley Williams played football as an Englishman until the FaW told him he had a Welsh Grandparent.

    Well the Scottish ****er is trying his best to!
    Haven't seen him tense up when serving like he has in the last 2 sets for a while.
    This impetus is definitely with this giant Querry

    1 set all, in tie breaker

    I heard konta interviewed earlier and she sounded British.

    That's good enough for me.

    Her nose is far to big to be British. Agreed the elocution lessons are working well.
