[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 1073021, member: 34990"] No, but he benefits from it and is moulded by it, and ultimately that's what international rugby is - two national unions seeing which union is better, otherwise it's just the same as club rugby and seeing who can source the best players willing to turn out for them What does Willi Heinz have to do with the RFU/England other than deciding to work in England for a few years? It's daft that he should be put forward as English rugby's "champion" (in Game of Thrones terms) when his only link is he worked for a club based here for a couple of years I understand that these are just my idealistic views on what the sport should be (imo), and don't really have any basis in reality Agree on this In my fictional world I'd tie it to graduation from the academy (or if not from the academy system, then being registered as a senior player for a side in the top competition) as that's when they're not benefitting from the nations coaching and funding and are solely trained/funded by the club [/QUOTE]
