[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1134220, member: 73592"] I don't have a particular problem with the rules as they currently are, though I'd tweak them a little. 5 years for original qualifying on residency is fine by me. The important thing for me is that it's more than 1 RWC cycle (so 50 months minimum). I'd up the stand-down time before re-qualifying to be more than 1 RWC cycle, so 50 months. If we actualy formalise tiers in international rugby, then I'd like different criteria for dropping tiers vs gaining tiers or moving within the same tier. I'd prefer 2 grandparents rather than 1 for original qualifying - but I don't feel particularly strongly about that. I'd drop the grandparent rule for re-qualifying - again though, I don't feel particularly strongly about that. I'd drop that the Channel Islands can qualify you for any of 5 countries thing - Channel Islands rugby comes under the RFU's umbrella, so should qualify you for England, absent other factors. I can absolutely see, and have plenty of 2nd-hand experience, of people who feel genuine attachment to 2 different countries; and I have no problem with that. [/QUOTE]
