Yeah the NI gang would have a choice as to who they represent although more would, no doubt go with the GB teams for the better funding and support etc or go with the Irish ones as it is easier to get in I would imagine. We have a choice - the rugby teams are divided into the old provinces of Ireland of Ulster(9 counties and not the 6 of Northern Ireland) Connaght, Munster and Leinster and the team is an all Ireland team. Certain irony there as in the north many assume that rugby is a prodestant sport but it is the only sport that will takes the ulster men as men of 9 counties!! go figure. But we can have dual nationallity type thing - I have 2 passports - can come in very handy at times that.
