Yes, but in English teams, such as both the rugby union and league teams and the cricket team, they have players born in other countries but are playing for England on residential grounds because they weren't chosen for their home country.
I just think if a player won England a game and they weren't from England, or have any connection to England apart from living there for a couple of years, it would take something away from the victory.
Theoretically the English rugby team could just field a New Zealand B team with players not quite good enough for New Zealand but have lived in England for a few years, i wonder how people would view that.
