On the back of the Kiwi defections to the Tongan RL team, there was a story on TV3 a few days ago about a few players choosing to play for the Samoan 7s team ahead of one of the NZ teams. Mua was interviewed and gave his reasons why (for his grandmother who is moving back to Samoa). I don't see this as a bad thing as a lot of the players would be eligible for 2 teams, and it doesn't lock you into playing for that country.
