[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 618521, member: 34990"] I believe that's the "KOLPAK" ruling, or at least that's what is in the premiership - it's a little more complicated than "non-European" players, as it also includes Pacific Islands, and goes on residency/eligibility rather than where they were born etc. Forrrrrrrr example, Sam Tuitupou, despite being capped for New Zealand, has a Tongan passport so doesn't count as a "foreign" player. Cobilas, despite being moldovan, has a Romanian passport, Ostrikov has a French etc.etc. [/QUOTE]
