[QUOTE="LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan), post: 1077115, member: 70842"] I don't think so TBH. For some players it's a genuine way of an alternative pathway to get a pro contract. Case in point Dan Kelly - Got dropped by Sale cause Sale are Sale and prefer South Africans - Goes to Lougborugh Uni too study - Ireland U20's as usual desperate for anyone - Impresses during the U20's 6N's - Signed by Tigers - Capped by England. With the state of rugby and the levels below the pro game I just feel closing something that is a alternative pathway is short-sighted. It's up to the Unions to gauge how keen players really are.
