[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 851362, member: 73592"] Excellent news that it's changing, and whilst it's a pity it won't come into effect just yet, it is fairer on the players themselves who may have already signed contracts already with that in mind. No sympathy for the unions, but individual players... It would be nice if there was provision for players representing their lower tier nation if they only get a couple of caps for their adopted top tier nation though, but I guess they've still got the 7s route to requalify (eg Robbie Freuan) which shows a degree of dedication - if not to the point of moving "back home" I see they've also brought in 10 years cumulative residency for the likes of Rapava-Ruskin; and put a stop to the idiocy of counting junior, closed qualification rugby as senior, open qualification rugby. So no more trapping kids who happen to be at uni in Wales and calling them Welsh forever after a single U20 match. [/QUOTE]
