[QUOTE="racingmetrofan, post: 473320, member: 51232"] I don't believe that '2nd XV' sides should count as caps and tie a player in only to that country. tbf some of these players are capped and encouraged to be capped at like 18-19 for a second team - it seems a bit unfair to basically be tied to a county after one decision when you are 18-19, for what is not imo a proper, international team. So I sympathise with Shingler, and really hope he is allowed to play for Scotland. As far as I'm concerned, if you tied to country when you play a proper international - e.g. a 6 nations game or a summer tour game. Under 20s or whatever shouldn't really count, nor should '2nd teams'. [/QUOTE]
