NZ is a nation of immigrants, someone like Durante has more attachment to NZ than a few players in our squad who are eligible by birth, if Gorrin plays for us its because he chose NZ as home rather than being fortunate enough to be born here so in my mind would be more eligible to be a Kiwi than Reid or Smith.
And WeeMac spent a single year in NZ, hopefully more to come though.
The only attachment that Durante has to NZ is that he had a job playing for the Nix, could not get in the Aussie team so he probably decided that he wanted to be an international and applied for citizenship.
Not true, both his kids are NZ born and he has said he wants to stay in Wellington after he retires.
