Rice is a grade A ****Evan Ferguson is Irish, although his mum is english his dad's Irish, he's from bettystown and he won't be switching allegiances. Unfortunately he's also a rag so I can see him ending up there.
I'm Irish, I've never had a problem with jack switching back to England as he was up front and honest about it. He's English but proud of his Irish heritage. Zero issue and I love seeing him do well for the England team. He's also a fucking legend of a guy when you look at what he does with charities, fans, disabled kids etc. Yet the media don't seem to appreciate that, disgracefully.
Rice on the other hand is a snake. Declared for Ireland, espoused how "Irish" he was and how he'd dreamed of wearing the green since he was a boy yada yada, sung the national anthem and made 3 senior appearances before changing his mind and turning his back on the country. Now he dances about like a dick saying "rice rice baby" and everyone thinks the sun shines out of his arse.
Keane and O'Neill fucked it as well tbh.
Ferguson isn't going to be a flash in the pan though, he's going to be mega

Just as well every Scotland international has been born in Scotland then……Through grandparents not parents. The Irish national Team has also used that little trick to poach players from Scotland. You wouldn't be able to put out a team to qualify for tournaments without getting players through Heritage.

I don’t think McGeady and McCarthy were poachedHow many have they poached off you using that rule?
Seem to remember their quotes at the time that it was always them and their families dream for them to play for Ireland
Mikey Johnston said similar
The only other one I can think of was Ray Houghton
He wasn’t near the Scottish set up when Big Jack gave him an Irish call up while at Oxford
Great innovative thinking from Jack
The whole nationality in sport is getting ridiculous.
The rules seem different for every sport.
I recall watching rugby union and the England captain (Kyran Bracken) was born in Dublin and the Irish captain was born in England and a few weeks later watching cricket and the England captain was born in Dublin (Eoin Morgan) and the Irish captain was born in England.
All the rugby teams have a plethora of internationals who have little connection to the teams they will be playing for ithe forthcoming World Cup.
The Qatar team in the recent world athletics championships had a load of Kenyans representing them.
Is a little ironic that 2 of the biggest transfers in the Premier league were for Rice and Grealish.

Thats rubbish.Through grandparents not parents. The Irish national Team has also used that little trick to poach players from Scotland. You wouldn't be able to put out a team to qualify for tournaments without getting players through Heritage.
The current Irish team is mainly made from players born in Ireland.
You obviously don't follow the Scottish rugby team.
I can definitely recall Raheem Sterling playing for England.
I was born in England but I don't think I count as English ;)Absolute nonsense. They were born in England therefore they’re English.
