Reknowned Rugby historian and Rugby author John Griffiths answers this question on ESPNscrum.com - Since 2000, how many players of Tri-Nations or Fiji/Tonga/Samoa birth/heritage have played for each of the Six Nations?
Italy have used 26 players of Tri-Nations or Fiji/Tonga/Samoan birth/heritage and England 23. Ireland have called only seven and France have used only six, though this figure excludes those from French-speaking territories such as Wallis-and-Futuna (J Suta, R Taofifenua and C Tolofua) and New Caledonia (S Vahaamahina).
2 Pacific Islanders have played for England, 1 for Wales and 1 for Italy.
