[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1097756, member: 74121"] Absolutely. The current total of italian players where evidence suggests they were falsely selected on the basis of citizenship awarded due to Great grandparent is now 8. Dellapé, Pez, Canale, García and Di Bernardo are the 5 additions following research by others. None played in RWC2019 so this doesn't impact on qualification for RWC2023. To think I supported Italy through these years when I was more authentically Italian than a sizeable chunk of the squad. If nobody is identified following say RWC2015 then that is probably a sign the Italian union and World Rugby has got a grip on things in the intervening period. The question for me is more whether World Rugby knew Italy had screwed up but kept it quiet so they wouldn't be disqualified for say 2015 or 2019. There is an absolute stench around this. [/QUOTE]
