[QUOTE="bushytop, post: 979763, member: 56738"] The law is rubbish but also not all-encompassing... ie all the boys you mentioned will be able to play for Wales because of the loophole exploited by Josh Adams. Basically, if you are already signed to a club outside of Wales and have as yet not earned a senior cap, you can rep Wales (Carre played at the World Cup using this loophole). So, theoretically if Lloyd, Costelow at al (who are signed to English clubs but have not yet earned caps) have contract extensions written into their contracts (like Francis at Exeter) & continue to re-sign at the same club for their whole career (or sign for a Welsh Club) they could rep Wales throughout their careers. Still, regardless of this loophole, I agree the law is not fit for purpose. [/QUOTE]
