[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1084292, member: 74121"] Yes, they messed up at the last RWC. The Spanish federation is a complete joke on player eligibility matters. They had a Kiwi born player late last year at an away match due to make their debut, pulled him at the 11th hour due to eligibility matters and he ended up dead shortly after (presumed suicide). World Rugby have known about this latest one since early February (see above) with social media reportedly showing the player has not met the '10 months out of 12' residency requirement in at least one year. There should be irrefutable evidence on passports so I can only assume the 6 week delay is World Rugby desperately trying to find a loophole in their own rules. Unlike last time Spain would fully deserve their RWC spot in terms of on field performance, so it would be a shame. But you've got to be consistent in the application of the rules. [/QUOTE]
