[QUOTE="Seaton, post: 473239, member: 64443"] Not so clear cut it seems re Shingler SRU response Thursday, 05 January 2012 Scottish Rugby complies with International Rugby Board regulations and guidelines regarding the status of potentially Scotland qualified players. Today we have named Steven Shingler in our squad for the opening two matches of the 2012 RBS 6 Nations Championship. Steven’s mother was born in Dumfries and although he played for Wales under-20 against France under-20 last season, Steven has confirmed to Scottish Rugby that he declined to sign a declaration from the WRU that he was committed solely to representing Wales at senior level. Steven has informed us that he made it clear that he wished to leave open his international eligibility as he was also eligible to represent Scotland and England as well as Wales. Scottish Rugby believes we have acted in good faith in this matter and have also taken cognisance of an IRB ruling last year concerning two players who played for Wales under-20 against France under-20 in 2010 who now play for Connacht and are eligible for Ireland. We are liaising with the IRB on this matter. "The art of life is to deal with problems as they arise, rather than destroy one's spirit by worrying about them too far in advance" - Cicero [/QUOTE]
