As in not born in the country they play for .....

Ahh, you mean "outwith". I haven't even begun to plumb the depths of pedantry often displayed on this thread

 

[dickygrace]

It's not Scotland!

It is, they’ve got 14 born overseas. Second is Aus with 12, Italy and Wales have 8 each.

 

[Navcorr]

You're including the handful of Sassenachs then? Over which sea were these born? Am I now to think Hadrian's Wall should be considered a coastal defence barrier?

You could state my argument is just desperate distraction tactics from the fact that, even with all these imports, we're still pish. You wouldn't be wrong if you did. Or, in time honoured tradition, you are perfectly within you're rights to state the QM is always right. Even when wrong.

Welcome to the QoD thread Dickie

 

[Hawk13]

we're still pish.

ha ha, that is so very true. although I haven;t been impressed with any of the home nations yet and don't see anyone challenging NZ.

 

[dickygrace]

I’m including the 5 born in England yes. Although two of those, Price and Hamish have already gone home injured. Excluding English born players that’s still 50% more than england (9/6).

I think we will challenge them but won’t meet them til the SF or final.

They've all diversified into cycles or pushbikes?

 

[JonW]

Is this linked to a famous designer, who has worked for all them?

 

[zagatoes30]

Not what I'm looking for

 

[zagatoes30]

Not the answer either

 

[zagatoes30]

A clue this is motorsport related

 

[Navcorr]

Anything to do with a particular driver or family?

 

[zagatoes30]

Anything to do with a particular driver or family?

No, more of an event

 

[zagatoes30]

OK, you all seemed stumped - all European manufacturers whose Chassis has won the Indy 500 in one guise or another, the list is shorter if you look an European engines to have won the same event.

Over to anyone else who has a question

 

[Navcorr]

Is it home time yet?
