Playing for two nations isn't something out of the ordinary in rugby league history.

The NRL eligibility rules have often been a point of hot contention in the sport, with players regularly able to switch back and forth from Tier 1 to Tier 2 nations.

While it has allowed the international game to grow, the debate that rages surrounding it is unlikely to die anytime soon.

Still, some of the best players in the modern era have taken the approach of representing more than one nation.

Here are the best of the best.

4. Andrew Fifita

Mate Ma'a Tonga and Australia

One of the most destructive forwards in the game, Andrew Fifita has represented both the Kangaroos and Tonga on the world stage.

Making his debut for the Kangaroos in the opening game of the 2013 Rugby League World Cup the 118kg forward was apart of one of the most successful Kangaroos outfit. Fifita would then score his first ever try for the Kangaroos in their 50-0 bashing against the Irish in Thomond Park.

All up Fifita would end up only playing seven games for the Kangaroos. Despite getting selected to play for Australia in the 2017 Rugby League World Cup Fifita elected to represent Tonga.

This would be the first time he would don the Mate Ma'a jersey since his debut on the international stage which was in 2010. Fifita played a pivotal role in what would be described as one of Tonga's best World Cup campaigns ever in any sport.
