[QUOTE="Candyman, post: 291453"] I see they voted no!! [b]IRB says no change to eligibility rules [/b] Newstalk ZB - December 3, 2009, 7:26 am There will be no change to the eligibility rules for international rugby players who want to play for a second country of heritage. The idea was that the likes of All Blacks with Pacific Islands backgrounds could return to their country of origin, but it has been rejected by the IRB. It is understood the concept would struggle on discrimination grounds in Europe, by judging some countries as weaker than others. NZRU CEO Steve Tew says it is not the end of the matter. He believes it just requires further research and the IRB has agreed. [/QUOTE]
