[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1038096, member: 45598"] I think they'd be fine to be honest. Athletic Club have only ever played players from the Basque region and most club sides have policies restricting foreign player numbers even within the EU free travel area and then you have examples like the Maori outside EU jurisdictions, which is the main barrier here with Ireland's inclusion. It would be a bit of a test case so I couldn't say for sure but I'd be surprised if they couldn't. I don't see it happening because the blazers won't want to give up the "prestige" of international caps but I think it'd go a long way to giving fans what they want from the Lions. [/QUOTE]
