Though I don't quite understand Christian teetotalers, I'm sure Rory not a bad bloke, a good role model and that's one of main reasons Hudson bought him back into the fold. If not supping from the devil's nectar has helped preserve his body - all power to him.
However wrong to say he has always been a patriotic Kiwi. He played for England age groups up to U20, but could have switched back in NZ when FIFA had a window in 2004 to allow changing allegiance for over-21s players. This year-long window was made available by FIFA upon introduction of a rule which allowed players with dual nationality to switch their allegiance before their 21st birthday. However Falloon chose not to apply. Hope I have that right!
Of course FIFA changed the rules again in 2009, removing the age limit for changing associations for players who had already played for a country's national team at youth level under article 18 of the Regulations Governing the Application of the FIFA Statutes. This allowed for the possibility of Fallon again representing New Zealand. Straight from his Wiki page!
So he only belatedly in his career debuted for the All Whites in 2009 at age 27. You can't say that the chance of playing in a World Cup, wouldn't have been a motivating factor in his decision to start playing for AWs. Lets not forget that!
Still if he is now leading the team culture, good to have him around.
