This is common too, Germany have it, Poland have it for great-grandparents. So considering you have to live here to play for Ireland, you're really telling me that a person who is entitled to living citizenship, and likely benefitting from it because it'd be disadvantageous not to, shouldn't be eligible to play? The idea of a choice of rugby team you play for having stricter rules on nationality than actual first world countries that are desirable to live in (quality of life indexed and all that) is bizarre to me.</blockquote>
