England EPS + Saxons

[McTallshort]

Wasnt he born to a British army family living in Germany.....

 

[Peat]

Silly hypothetical I know, but Kvesic was born in Germany, right? Would him playing for England U20s make him ineligible to play for Germany, should he wish to do so? I think it's the top two sides, as England has the Saxons they count as the A side but Wales don't so they nominate their U20s.

Your last sentence is correct.

edit: Kvesic was born to a British military family when they were stationed in Germany.

 

[RedWhiteGreen]

In which case, completely disregard my point.

On the subject of players having to play in the HEC to stand a better chance of playing for England correct me if Im wrong but Sale were never in the HEC when Sheriden was playing for them, Corbs got all his caps playing for the 2nd worse team in the Premiership as did JJ. Im not sure why this lad has gone to Glous its not like they are regulars in the HEC

 

[McTallshort]

Although......that still makes him eligable to play for Germany

I may be wrong, but I believe being born when your parents are stationed overseas through the military service doesn't qualify you for residency of that country. Something to do with soverign owned soil or the like.

 

[McTallshort]

Not true the only "soverign owned soil" we have are the two bases in Cyprus, if he was born in the army hospital at Reintell (wrong spelling) then possibly but lots of army kids are born in German hospitals and they can I believe apply for citizenship.

I know thats the case in the US. John McCain was born at a navy base in Panama (not into a big hat) but isnt not considered a Panamanian (?). So if UK nationality law applies the same then Kavesic would hold sole UK nationality if he was born at an official British Army/Navy/RAF base. If not, then he would hold dual nationality and be able to play for Germany

Qualifies for England, Germany and Croatia.

Glos haven't been able to spend up to the cap the last few years because of the recession and not having a rich owner. But now that the recession is becoming a memory, Glos are spending a lot more on their squad and should at least have the potential to secure HC rugby most years now, but also challenge for ***le honours.

Yeah so its what I said, as he was born in ein hospital he is able to play for ze Germans. At risk of muddying the waters where does the Croatia bit come in?

Grandfather. Surname is a wee bit of a clue!

Crap reffing decisions are a part of life. Take a spoonful of concrete and harden up.

yeah i wasnt being serious sometimes my bias love for worcester comes of in a strange way

Henry Thomas called up to the EPS as cover for Corbs, who is struggling with a knee injury.
He won't get game time, guaranteed: He's a tighthead, and he's only played 20minutes in the last 5months! Hhhoowweevveeerrr I can't explain how happy I am that he gets to spend a week training with Rowntree!
Corbs being out is bad news - he's easily the best scrummager of our looseheads. I expect that Marler will start with Mako on the bench, however I'd have them other way round.
Nick Wood can feel very put out over this - especially after his game vs Wolfhounds/the fact that he's a loosehead.


Daily mail reckons Farrell is starting at 10, Botha and Haskell on the bench and Brown at fullback, and Twelvetrees potentially to start at 12 if Tuilagi is out.
However they've also got a picture of Billy Vunipola with the capton "Could he start at loosehead?" so I'd take it with a pinch of salt :lol:

 

[Peat]

He's obviously not gonna play next week, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Thomas get onto the bench by the end of the 6N.

Really wish Corbs was fit though.

Hmm. Brown at full-back = Foden on the wing?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yup, think that's the back three (avec Ashton).
Brown's on good form at the moment, so is the right choice at 15.
Foden's not really on great form, and then being played out of position too... Then again, who else? Monye? Joseph? ....Strettle?
