[QUOTE="die_mole, post: 1136233, member: 73648"] I can't imagine someone playing for Italy without citizenship because Italy hands out passports like cotton candy. They do have a few players from South America though that got those cotton candy passports though. I'd rather a sport not have a citizenship requirement as it's not equal from country to country. For the United States and Italy it is possible to be a citizen yet not eligible to play rugby for them. Quade played as a non-citizen be cause 1. he had no reason to become a citizen and 2. he didn't learn how to read until 2022 so the test was too hard. There was no point for him to get citizenship as a young man cause of the relationship between the two countries My preference would be that you have to live in a country for 4 years before your 18th birthday to be eligible. 6 Years of residency afterwards.
