[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1116005, member: 74121"] Good news on the player eligibility front. I never thought I'd type that. Am I missing something in the article below? [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.americasrugbynews.com/2023/01/19/foreign-born-produced-trained-players-in-2023-six-nations[/URL] Scotland may be selecting capped Aussies and Englishmen but there are signs the NH Tier1 are going to have to increasingly depend on home grown players due to the residency changes. A sharp drop in the number of foreign born 6N players this year, particularly for Wales and Italy. Even as an eligibility zealot I'd struggle to put anyone other than Scotland on the naughty step with these squads. I'm really surprised to see this improvement in a RWC year too when coaches will be desperately scraping around for any eligible player to give an edge. It bodes well. In contrast, tripe like this should be a rarity.
