[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1090368, member: 74121"] Apologies. I meant Tier 1 unions considering residency as an option for a player will generally explore that on day 1 of the player arriving in their country (i.e. forward planning to ensure compliance with regulation 8). So any player who wasn't originally going to be captured in 2021 or 2022 for a Tier 1 union (under the original implementation date of the new 5 year rules) stands a good chance of having been following regulation 8 since 2018 anyway (to be captured in 2023 for the RWC). I was very much wearing a URC cap though given that it is the URC nations (excluding SA and to some extent Ireland) that boot the arse out of capturing players from other unions. So yes, France and England may have exceptions, but they are far less likely to be selecting any new players based on residency in 2021 or 2022 (did either have any new residency captures last year for example?). For SANZAAR capturing players on residency is even less of an issue. [/QUOTE]
