[QUOTE="Duck a l'Orange, post: 1017038, member: 72315"] There's only one player in the England 23 who wasn't born in England (Billy V). Encouraging signs of domestic talent. I know place of birth obviously isn't the best indicator (Billy V isn't Australian and Sam Underhill isn't American, e.g.) but it's easily available data. That's got to be pretty unusual for international teams these days? Having checked for comparison, Uruguay, Namibia and Argentina all had zero foreign born players in the squad at RWC 2019, South Africa and Georgia had 1, Russia 2, New Zealand 4. England had 6, Scotland 15. [/QUOTE]
