[QUOTE="Moseleyexile, post: 1096748, member: 86032"] Not sure. The IRFU represents all of the island of Ireland, but my understanding is that any citizen of Northern Ireland can claim British or Irish citizenship or both as per the Good Friday Agreement. So ultimately I don’t think there’s anything they could do to stop a player doing this. I imagine they may struggle to get an Irish contract in 15s if they chose to represent GB7s but then again these days Sevens is basically a different sport at the elite level. [/QUOTE]
