John Lambies Doos Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 In Super Rugby the winning streak of Kwi sides over Australian sides now stands at 39 games. After the Waratahs lose after going 29-0 up v the Crusaders That's dreadful 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the Belgium players is French born Victor Paquet does not pass World Rugby’s Regulation 8 states that you can only qualify to represent a nation different to that in which you were born if that country is the nation of birth of your parent or grandparent, or you have lived in that country for 36 consecutive months. As he has a Belgium great grandparent. The Spanish players I think are French born and played for the French U20 side in games v Wales U20 and as both sides were the official second side that locked them to France. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the WR report, and seemingly Faka'osilea told the Romania's he hadn't played for Tonga! The belgiums I think there was a number of players of who had Great Grandparents from Belgium. Spain I think knew the 2 players, although qualified for Spain, were tied to France. I think we and Wales got off lightly when we got caught out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honestly united Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Yes but we didn't lose out on qualifying for a world cup, and for Belgium are now facing a relegation play off in the REC Vs Portugal, rather than Germany, who instead of facing relegation Vs Portugal are facing them in a WC playoff. Considering how many games Hilton played we got off lightly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajwffc Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Reading the info on the website at full back Hogg had 93% of the vote beating the likes of Berni Stortoni.Seymour had over 50% of the vote for right wing and DTH over 66% at left wing. Cusiter beat Niko by 1 vote at Scrum half. Dougie Hall was a close second at hooker and Zander beat 21 other players at tight head. Strauss got 49% of the vote at No8 and they don't go into any more detail for the other positions 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
