[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1182407, member: 73144"] As far as I can see, and I’m no lawyer..… An EQP is a player qualified to play for England. No ****! Although WJ was born here and it’s been 3 years since he last played for Wales, my reading is that a change of allegiance isn’t automatic, but still requires the consent of World Rugby. So I’d guess that unless or until that’s been applied for and granted he couldn’t count as an EQP (for which there’s a separate application process). I think it’s the World Rugby regs that are important here. Those determine eligibility - the Welsh 25 cap thing is just an aspect of how they select from their eligible players. In the eyes of WR he’s still Wales eligible until he goes through the process to be otherwise. I think. [/QUOTE]
