Switching allegiance is nothing new, but the current Wales crop perfectly encapsulates how increasingly cosmopolitan international football has become, even within the relatively small sphere of the Home Nations.
When people say that Wales punches above its weight in football for a small country of only 3m people, it rather overlooks the fact that many of the players have very little connection with the country.
