[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1089068, member: 74121"] As part of their appeal this week Spain are apparently going to suggest that the grounds of their expulsion should apply to other nations. Specifically, the finding that if a player makes reference to their country of birth as 'home' it should reset the clock on their residency period in the country they are playing in. Pierre Schoeman is being cited as an example. [MEDIA=twitter]1525172716155949056[/MEDIA] Their appeal is doomed but I hope someone is monitoring social media for guys who qualified in 2021 purely to the 11th hour extension of the 3 year residency rule. Then sit on repeat evidence until after the RWC, get all the matches annulled and make any offending nation miss out on auto-qualification for then 2027 by having finished third in their group, forcing World Rugby to open up the closed shop. A man can dream. :) [/QUOTE]
