Gasnier French switch not impossible

According to his coach, Stade Francais star Mark Gasnier could well turn his back on Australia all together and one day represent the French national side.
The former rugby league superstar is still early in his transition to Rugby Union but boss Ewen McKenzie says playing for France could very easily become an option for the 27 year-old speedster somewhere down the line.
"He is enjoying life here - I don't have any inkling that he might want to rush to Australia and play any sport to be honest," McKenzie said.
"It is theoretically possible [he will play for Australia], it is also theoretically possible he could play for France in three years' time."
Autralian officials are believed to be currently holding talks with Gasnier regarding a move back to Australia, with a Super 14 franchise, with a long-term view at him possibly taking part in the 2011 World Cup.
What do you think? Is Gasnier really that good? What would you think if he travelled to New Zealand in the Blue of France?
