[QUOTE="bushytop, post: 983885, member: 56738"] Yeah I’ve mentioned this elsewhere in the thread... that is the one example that is the equivalent of LRZ ie. a super talented kid who’s own nation is interested and they themselves are a tier one nation who is highly competitive (& it didn’t happen, he’s plying his trade very successfully for his actual country). All other examples that I can see are the same old ‘own nation are not interested’ or ‘own nation are not competitive’. Another example which is ‘close’ but not the same is the Vunipola’s. Different because they weren’t actually born in Wales... though moved here real young and went through our systems. Same as, well Wales were more than interested and we are a competitive tier one nation but their time in the country obviously didn’t leave enough of a mark on them and it is what it is. [/QUOTE]
