[QUOTE="St George, post: 614083, member: 69634"] I find it absurd that some BM's are still beating up the PRL on this matter when its clear that they are only enforcing a rule which the Saints signed up to and works side by side with the International governing body, the IRB, via IRB Regulation 9 covering player release. To read some posts, it would seem that the PRL are preventing North from playing for Wales. But this is not the case. The objection is that Wales arranged a game outside of the agreed window for internationals as laid down by the IRB in consultation with all participating bodies. This means that the game was not covered by the internationally recognised regulation for release of players and so is in breach of the contract/agreement that saints has with its governing bodies the PRL & RFU. Here is an article from the Independant which shows that maybe the IRB have been complicit in allowing this to take place with such a Regulation which is a bit wooly. In particular i like Cockerills comments regarding games outside of the window: [URL]http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-union/international/irbs-regulation-9-leaves-clubs-and-countries-at-sixes-and-sevens-2112079.html[/URL] IMO its quite clear some people have an agenda when it comes to the PRL and the game in England in general. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
