[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 642162, member: 48703"] No, goodNumber10, you have your facts wrong on this matter. Olyy is right in saying specifically that RWC qualifiers make their own release window, but you are wrong in saying all IRB tournaments do, as was pointed out by Little Guy. The beginning of the IRB Pacific Nations Cup last year fell outside the release window, that is an indisputable fact. The ENC has had games outside the release window in the past as well. It's stated in Regulation 9 that only the World Cup + qualifiers, World Cup 7's, Olympic 7's + qualifiers, and the Lions tour are known as Designated Release Events. Hence why USA could field a full team with Samu Manoa etc in Uruguay recently.
