A nice slow build-up to this year's tournament.
Well...France obviously.

England don't have a good reputation of consistency with wingers or even a game plan to use them, he would get better remaining Welsh.

He's an interesting one. Rugby has always been something to do before he becomes a doctor. If he chooses Wales he'd need to change university halfway through a medical degree. Good luck to him but as a welshman I'd prefer him in red.

Wales have a history of doctors, Adam Roberts recently and of course JPR - among many others. I think he has already switched university, he was apparently at Aston for pre-clinical, which made sense with an academy place at Wasps. But according to the press has moved to Exeter University, presumably for clinical now he is based there. While unusual, it is not unheard of. |

He had to restart in Exeter Uni.
Hence Chiefs offering a 5 year contract to cover the whole period of study. The most recent example of this is Hal Amos who came home from RWC19 saw out his Cardiff contract and joined the NHS in his late 20s. As an aside I suspect Educational costs are outside the salary cap so nicely done there Exeter.

Can someone tell me my assumptions are wrong.
Full internationaldy An English born player plays for England at 18, doesn't play again after 3 years he plays for Wales (Welsh father), doesn't play again after 3 years he plays for Scotland (Scottish mother) doesn't play again after 3 years he plays for Ireland (Irish grandfather) Please tell me I'm wrong

I thought you were limited to just the one change and two countries max.

You are correct Richard Players may only transfer once, such that no Player can ever represent more than two Unions for the purposes of Regulation 8.2. 4.3 Applications should be submitted to the World Rugby Regulations Committee accompanied by all relevant supporting documents by the Union to which the Player wishes to transfer. |

Watching the Edinburgh v Gloucester match at the weekend, the Scottish commentators mentioned Zach Mercer switching allegiance to Scotland several times.
The basis for this being he lived in Scotland for a number of years as a youth. However, as far as I can see, he could only play for a country that he or his parents/grandparents were born in? He was born in England, his dad in New Zealand- I couldn't see any information about his mother or grandparents. |

According to his Wikipedia entry Mercer lived in Scotland from the age of 8 and became Scottish-qualified through residency and appeared for the Scotland U16 team. He was also in the Glasgow Warriors academy prior to joining Bath. Thought I'd also check the inevitable list of England players born outside of this sceptic isle. |

It's the modern world.
My children would be eligible for 3 countries (neither me or wife are English but live here). That's before moving and qualifying on residency grounds.
