[QUOTE="FrenchFan, post: 957913, member: 70871"] No they aren’t. If they have been thru French club academies they are JIFF qualified, they’re not French. They still need a French passport to be selected for the national team. They have to apply for citizenship (which is not granted de facto because you attended a rugby academy!). The one and only criteria is citizenship. The player must have French nationality. There is no loophole to that. [/QUOTE]
