[QUOTE="BPM, post: 949739, member: 59968"] I think there is a difference between occasionally taking opportunities to pick players who qualify on residency (Hughes and Solomona) and actively recruiting a player from overseas with the specific intention of making them a ‘Project Player’ i.e. CJ Stander, Josh Strauss etc. For the most part, the England players who are considered ‘poaches’ have an English parent (Hartley, Te’o, Shields x2) or have lived in England for most of their lives/have come through the English system (Tuilagi, Cokanasiga). The Vunipola brothers are slightly more tenuous given their clear links to Wales. [/QUOTE]
