[QUOTE="Maverick1987, post: 615282, member: 59493"] It's not the same in England . The first week in the AP there was 70% english players selected in the starting 23 across the board . I saw it because they were comparing AP against the football premier league . Also as someone said above there are extra financial incentives to work with young English players rather than buying in foreigners Just from a Leicester point of view I'll do our "first team" sheet players in capitals being foreigners 1. AYERZA 2. T. Youngs 3. Cole 4. Deacon/Slater 5. Parling/Kitchener 6. Croft 7. SALVI 8. Crane/Waldrom 9. B. Youngs 10. Flood 11. Thompstone/GONEVA 12. Allen 13. Tuilagi 14. Benjamin 15. Tait So probably 3 at most in starting lineup although people like Bowden, Mele, stankovic(who is English qualified in his defense) and Hamilton may be in the squad so we do have some more non-English qualified player but to put English clubs in the same bracket as the French clubs would be inaccurate Also it cannot be 3 per team as that would be 36 players english qualified out of 276 players named in the starting 23 . It would equate to a little over 10% of the players over the weekend . I think you will find it's more like 3 foreign players in each 23 [/QUOTE]
