C'mon, you're STILL not sour over that old thing. Lets face it - athletes are international and after all, we swiped what was probably South Africa's greatest ever netballer. NZ athletes emigrate all over the world and often end up training opposing teams - look at Graeme Henry. They are one of our biggest exports.
All the America's Cup teams are made up of sailors from all over and considering the sums of money involved - why not? If you were offered a zillion dollars to race for a team, whoever it was representing, wouldn't you?
