Tyler Beary.
OK. It is not much of a punchline. Actually, it does not even make sense.
But the hard-running University centre's background kind of sums up the character of the club.
University has always been a team which has pulled players together from far-flung corners of New Zealand. But the net is a lot wider these days.
Players come from further afield and Beary's complicated national loyalties reflect the multicutural nature of the side.
The 23-year-old was born in South Africa but moved to Ireland with his family when he was a toddler.
The Bearys moved to New Zealand when Tyler was 10 and settled in Hawke's Bay.
He moved to Dunedin five years ago to study commerce and play rugby.
Now he has three rugby teams to support at the World Cup later this year, although his mind is firmly focused on Saturday's premier club final against Taieri at Forsyth Barr Stadium.
Midfield partner Emeka Ilogu is another import but he now calls Dunedin home. He was born in the United Kingdom and grew up there but has also spent plenty of time in Ghana.
He was inspired to come to New Zealand by a former rugby coach who is a New Zealander.
The University of Otago was the first to get back to him, so he packed his stuff and came over in 2013.
Now he has a degree in international business and a job with a business technology company.
''I came over to play rugby and do a degree and decided why not call this place home,'' Ilogu said.
Lock Ben Smith was born in the United States and grew up in Australia. His parents are New Zealanders though, and he moved to Dunedin when he was 18 to attend University and study physical education.
The 22-year-old said University made a slow start to the season but was finishing strongly and was keen to defend the title it had to share with Harbour last year.
Winger Patrick Atkinson is Welsh and has the thick accent to prove it. He is the most recent arrival of the four. A graduate from the University of Liverpool, the 24-year-old is taking some time out to travel and play rugby and ''just sort of stumbled down here'' this year.
If he can sort out a visa, he would like to stay on and play another season.
But that is in the future. Of more immediate focus is getting his name back on the scoresheet. He has not scored for a couple of weeks and a try in the final would be timely way to break the drought.
''The rugby is a little faster than back home and it took some getting use to,'' Atkinson said.
''But it is good fun and a good challenge. I'm definitely better for it.''
