[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 985951, member: 72977"] I was thinking about this. I have no problem with players who are slightly older and are unlikely to play for their country moving over. While 24/25 is still youngish, Tompkins probably has an idea now if he was likely to play for England or not. However what I don't like is the idea of other countries targeting younger players. Take Pivac targeting English players as he's said. England shouldn't have to worry about capping young players just to protect them from another country persuading them to move. I'd update rules that if they play for the u20 side then they can't be capped by another country until they are 23/24. This would help protect countries investment in players for a while to see if they develop well enough to be included in the senior squad. [/QUOTE]
