[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 985963, member: 34990"] The LRZ thing has been blown out of all proportion He'd never represented Wales at any level (and not sure if he'd even played for Gloucester yet) at the point he was asked about his eligibility for England as an academy player living and playing in England. It's not like we were in a tug of war to have him in our Six Nations squads this season - it was well before anyone had even heard of him. That's massively different from actively targeting England age grade players in the way that Wales have. I've heard of a few more players who turned down invitations to Wales training camps this season, who have played for England age grade, and the WRU are targeting academy players now, like Theo Bevacqua.
