Subject: Welsh (foreign) players

With the announcement of Sonny Parker's retirement from International rugby we should ask questions of the foreign legions loyalty to the Welsh National cause. Parker knows the plight that Wales find themselves with the suspension of Gavin Henson and the injury to Tom Shanklin yet, although asked to reconsider the timing of his retirement by Mike Ruddock he repaid the investment in him by the Welsh public by turning his back on the Welsh cause!

Die hard Welshmen will find this difficult to accept and I would think that Parker may as well reconsider his time in Wales as it would probably be better if he returned to the land of his birth sooner rather than later!

What are the views of you other Wales supporters should we utilise these foreign rejects, personally I could never have put on any other National jersey other than the red of Wales, and given an arm and leg to do so.
