I have now been in Australia for almost 10 years; married an Australian; and have twins, whose early loyality is still with the All Blacks:

...but have not yet become an Australian citizen, maintaining my New Zealand citizenship and my loyality to the All Blacks.
Unitil today, I had no intention of changing that loyality. What has got me thinking about changing is that the Australian Rugby Union have just announced the appointment of a New Zealander and former All Black, Robbie Deans as the new coach of the Wallabies (for those that don't know, they are the Australian rugby team).
Robbie Deans coached the Canterbury Crusaders (my team) to a 6 Super 12/14 competition titles (the most successful of any team) and was overlooked for the All Blacks coaching job. Way back I used to go to Lancaster Park (before it became Jade then AMI Stadium) to cheer him on when he played in all those Ranfurly Shield games when Cantergury held the Shield in 82 - 85 (remember the coach Grizz Wylie?) and also when he played for the All Blacks. He was the goal kicking hero.
What am I to do, now that a New Zealand hero is now in the top rugby coaching job in Australia? Is it time to switch my loyalities? Please vote in the poll.
