Other Nations' Internationals

Ponsonby players who were chosen for other countries while still with the club - Men.

Pacific nations started selecting offshore-based players in the early 1980s, although it didn't become a widespread practice for another ten years. Nowadays almost all the top Pacific players are professionals in Europe or Japan, but 29 players have been chosen to represent Pacific test teams while still with the club.
