[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 473317, member: 13739"] I highly doubt Shingler will be allowed to play. I understand why Loxton and that other bloke were allowed to become Irish qualified, because they were unaware of the rule when they played for Wales U20, but Shingler was well aware as Cymro has pointed out several times. The IRB rules seem quite clear, and the WRU are adamant they fully informed Shingler about the concequences of playing. Whether he did or did not sign a piece of paper is not here or there really, as the IRB law doesn't mention needing a signature. It was probably a measure that the WRU brought in to try and avoid another incident. Maybe the WRU shouldn't have allowed Shingler to play without signing, but it doesn't really take away from the fact that Shingler knew what the law was before stepping foot onto the field. [/QUOTE]
