[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 1111319, member: 13739"] That used to be the case, but that loophole was closed a number of years ago, as was as the 'exceptional circumstances' clause. My understanding is that it's a very clear 60 cap rule now. As I understand it Rowlands disagreed with the pay band he was in. Despite being named Welsh player of the year, he still wasn't eligible to be considered in the top pay band as that's reserved for Lions test players. No idea why that should matter, but that's the WRU for you. So he may have been able to re-sign with the Dragons under his current pay band, but understandably he wasn't happy with that. It's a real shame as he's been getting better and better at Dragons recently, and he's been a real driving force behind the improvements at the region this season. It'll also be a huge loss to Wales if he is ineligible for the WC! [/QUOTE]
