[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 669173, member: 38640"] I prefer the one rule fits all type of thing - I think it's much more problematic making exceptions for people. You can't really tell someone what they are and aren't, you can just place criteria for everyone to follow. Sadly I think the whole eligibility process under the Olympics has made a mess of things. I'm not sure I'd want to compromise it anyway... What I don't understand, is that Football doesn't have these problems. Yes it's a convoluted selection of U23 players and a few over, but it's not like an U23 player can play for Brazil's national team, play for Argentina in Olympics football, and then play for Argentina. How is it rugby is somehow subjected to it? [/QUOTE]
