[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 793982, member: 13739"] Not sure that's the case in the 6 nations, hence the debate surrounding Shingler. He was only tied into playing for Wales because we faced France. England also fielded a non english qualified player in this years 6 nations (Protheroe), so not sure how that fits into things, although the English U20's doesn't tie any player into playing for England, so maybe that explains it. It might well count for JWC though. It's all a bit of a mess, and should be simplified. Get rid of the 2nd team nomination, and make a decision whether U20's count across the board or not. It seems unfair to the players, and they should come first. If a nation has an 'A' side (Saxons, Wolfhounds etc), then let the union decide whether to include them too, or automatically include them. I don't blame any unions for selecting their U20's side as a way to tie in players (if the law is there, why not use them), but it's the laws that's at fault. [/QUOTE]
