Which players from England's 2003 world cup winning squad were foreign-born?

Bonus point if you can name where they were born.

Have to confess... I cheated to find Abbott . I knew Catt was born in SA.

How many others ...

No he was born in England....I think this is a slightly Tricky question...Brumby is referring to someone born in Wales or Scotland , If I am thinking along the correct lines....

 

[BoyBrumby]

Nope, not Billy. & the guy I'm thinking of wasn't born in the UK. If I included non-English born Dorian West (Wrexham in Wales) would be there too.
