Look i'll be happy if he plays for Fiji it would be good for the game and make no difference to Australia.
But as someone who was born and raised in Australia, and played the vast majority of his Int RL for Australia, it's hard to see how him playing for Fiji is a superior moral decision as being set up by some people in here. It doesn't even make sense since the vast majority of people in here want a one-nation-for-life rule - his first test was for Australia.
What he did in Union is irrelevant for this sport.

It's not so much what he did, more him saying that it was his dream to play for Fiji. I don't think it's a massive moral decision. I just think its funny how fast he keeps back flipping on things.

You would probably play Korusau at 9 and pick the current halfback from the Nth Sydney bears NSW cup side.

It will be good if Sutton represents. He is no chance on making it as a blues player/kangaroo so might as well.

Where would be the best position for Fiji to play Hayne? Full back? Centre? Five eighth?

Remember thaat Fiji would have a classy back line with the likes of Kevin Naiqama, Waqa Blake, Suliasi Vunivalu, Akuile Uate,

Hayne, who helped the Vodafone Fiji Bati reached the 2008 RLWC semi-finals said he was eager to reunite with his fellow countrymen for next year's tournament.

"I am looking forward to it, and it's going to be a great world cup," he said.

"We have a great squad and I am looking forward to it."

THE Lions from England could be coming in to play one match with the Vodafone Fiji Bati before next year's Rugby League World Cup in Australia.

Fiji National Rugby League CEO Timoci Naleba confirmed the plan was to have the English side in Fiji, seven days before the Bati leave for Australia to be part of the RLWC.

"We have requested a game against them to serve as a pre-world cup match before we leave for Australia," Naleba said.

"Apart from the Lions, there are also plans to have international tours next year for the local players as a form of buildup towards the RLWC in October."

Naleba said local players currently on an off-season program would have another tour of Canada after the FNRL office received an invitation from the Canadian Rugby League. The team would also travel to Hawaii to be part of the Ohana Cup which they were a part of earlier this year and a tour to France to play against the French Rugby League team.

"These tours are for local players and if their fitness is up to the standard we want, which I'm sure the local boys will achieve," Naleba said.

"There are also talks to request the Australian A team for a game against them."

Naleba said they were now looking at players with a holistic approach to allow them to be represented at the RLWC which would encourage more upcoming local players.

The Vodafone Fiji Bati will face USA in their first game on October 28 in Townsville on November 5 against Wales and their last pool game would be against Italy.

By the looks of the pool Fiji is in, they will be up against the Kangaroos in the quarter-finals.
