[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1032584, member: 45598"] I do agree with you here, I said in post #122 in this thread that ideally u20 caps should have tied CJ. Still somewhat conflicted on the financial aspect of it though because the risk to your future health compared to the monetary reward in rugby is extremely low compared to most sports and I value the individual more than the "sanctity" of international sport. We disagree on age for sure because I know of plenty of cases of 1st and 2nd generation Irish in England/Scotland rebelling against their roots because of the bullying that came with it only to consider themselves more Irish than anything else in their late teenage years but it's something that you should know by the time you're 18. Ultimately I'd like it that any cap from u18 onwards ties you but I think rugby's player welfare needs to catch up a lot before it becomes something I really care about. [/QUOTE]
