[QUOTE="maninjapan, post: 995785, member: 83824"] For Top 14, from what I can find, looks like this. As of the 2017-18 season France’s 30 professional clubs in the Top 14 and ProD2 must name a minimum of [URL='https://www.rugbyworld.com/countries/france-countries/french-rugby-looking-close-foreign-player-loopholes-55584']14 Jiff-qualified[/URL] [1] players in their 23-man matchday squads. Jiff Qualified = players who had spent three seasons at a French club’s youth academy before turning 21 or who had been licensed to play in France for five seasons before the age of 23. Are there any further restrictions on foreign players? How many can take the field at one time? Capped vs uncapped? Now don't get me wrong, I completely agree with domestic competitions nurturing and protecting homegrown talent. The issue is 1 specific rule and its implementation. [/QUOTE]
