Do you have to have a certain look when playing a sport

I noticed recently (actually during the 6 nations and again at the weekend) that rugby teams tend to have a look!
No offense made to anyone of any country but.............
The English rugby team are for the most part made up of what you call typically English looking men(Lewis Moody, josh Lewsey, Jonny W)! The Irish team have a tendency for rosy cheeks (Ronan O'Gara, Horgan) and the Welsh team are made up of very curly haired front row and the backs who have hair gelled and preened into an inch of their life, smoother than smooth skin and if you Gavin Henson no hair on his legs and perma-tanned! They also all tend to run in a strange manner!

Can it be that coaches think not just about talent but about how they look when they pick a person for international duty! Or is it just the culture in each country is so that these men who play rugby end up looking a certain way and similar to all their team mates??

hmmmmmmmmm i wonder!
