Lesley Vainikolo could be playing for England, but is it right?

The giant Tongan/Kiwi winger Lesley Vainikolo could be wearing the Red Rose come the autumn.  The Volcano qualifies due to his six years at Bradford Bulls fulfilling the IRB residency requirements.

Given that this bloke is quite blatantly not English at all (at least Henry Paul's mother was from Liverpool!), should he be selected or should England let Tonga rightfully claim him?
