[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 923462, member: 45598"] In Ireland he's paid by the IRFU, he'd have to go to France, play far more games in a season and learn another language to make as much I think. Apart from that I see where you're coming from, I don't really agree but neither of us are going to change our minds. Can I ask you, or anyone not singling this out, what the change should be? The grandparent rule has to stay because it'd be illegal in places for it not to be in place, the living period is five years now, that's a very common period to obtain citizenship worldwide, can rugby really be stricter? As I've pointed out above a "gentleman's agreement" isn't fair on players trying to earn a living. Taking it on a case by case basis is impossible. Change just isn't practical or possible in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
