Dura on the world game
I have an amazing ability to find my way out of mazes. I'm pathological.

I can't watch the video for some reason.

I love Dura but he will always be Australian, can you imagine him hand on his heart singing the NZ national anthem?   I can't and the sooner he is called up for the Australian national team the better.

They geo-block their videos.

I just watched it, a lot of their videos are geo-blocked but this wasn't. Was a pretty cool interview.

He's lived here for longer than McGlinchey.

I doubt he will ever get a call up for Australia.

If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid

agreed, if Aus were going to call him up it would have been done last season. Best chance for him to play international footy is for us. He's lived here long enough and is certainly good enough - could easily step up and fill the gap Nelsen is going to leave when he retires. theprof2012-02-28 15:45:43

Sure he could step into the gap...whether he'd fill it or not though is another story.
 
Good interview though!

You'll never beat The Salmon!

Is he any less entitled to play for New Zealand than other All White greats like Steve Sumner?

He should have been called up for tomorrow's game against Saudi Arabia instead of Jade North (although still would have been on the bench behind Ogmonster and Spiranovic). Since he wasn't I guess he never will be.

on last years form i think he should have made the squad, but i dnt olger is even looking at him, out of the him lia n daneil who could try out for the AWs, id take him 60% of the time, everytime....
and he would be a great older 'pro' to have in the team once( or if) the likes of nelson, elliot and pasty move on.

Dura isn't that old and would excellent acquisition with a genuine nz link having lived here 5 years and captained country's only professional side. Still has enough speed to plug RB if necessary or obviously another CB option, which will only take an injury and a retirement to be v impt.

Really? Can you explain why to me? I don't believe it's been covered before.
