[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1074621, member: 74121"] Possible fresh player eligibility issue with Spain with a player selected against Netherlands. Unconfirmed that there is an issue yet but anecdotally it does sound like there will be some explaining to do. [URL unfurl="true"]https://rugger.info/news/46118[/URL] I have a bad feeling about this for Spain. Remember the poor kiwi fellow they took with the squad last year then couldn't select him (and he died on the trip). I suspect Spain have learnt nothing and this may be a major issue. Well done to the Russian union if they have uncovered this, although if I were them I would have waited until after this weekend's match, and kept quiet if I'd beaten Spain in Sochi and see if they can take points off Romania and Portugal. If he'd been selected against Russia and Russia lost, then the result would be overturned, no? Would be catastrophic if Spain effectively lost the chance to qualify for consecutive RWCs due to player eligibility issues. EDIT: I'm advised Russia would not get the points if they lost to Spain with an ineligible player, so this is the optimum time for them to make this infor,action public and see if Spain lose the points from their win over Netherlands at the weekend.
