It doesn't feel like a Welsh team if nearly half the players were brought up in England.

Yet at the same time you say the French team doesn't feel French despite the fact the players were brought up in France?

Cut the rhetorics. I'm sure you understand my argument.

A player being brought up in the country where he will represent the national team is one requirement, but there's more to it.

With a French or Swiss player it's not enough that he is brought up in France/Switzerland, if he keeps his foreign identity.
