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.

3. Petero Civoniceva

Fiji Bati and Australia

Born in Fiji and moving to Australia at an extremely young age, Petero Civoniceva is one of Rugby League's all-time greats.

With 309 NRL games under his belt and 33 games for Queensland there's not much Petero hasn't done. Making his debut for the Kangaroos in 2001 where he toured the United Kingdom, Petero was also apart of the last Australian side that played in an Ashes series in 2003 where Australia were victorious.

He was also apart of the Kangaroos squad that took out Great Britain in the 2004 Tri-nations series. Moreover in 2013 Petero was selected to play for Fiji in the 2013 Rugby League World Cup where the Fiji Bati side was knocked out in the semi-finals by the tournament winners Australia.
