Don't think that playing at a junior level prevents selection at a senior level for a different country.

I think Wales named their under 20s as their "Second" team to lock players in, but for most countries it's senior level play that counts.

Seems Tyrese Johnson-Fisher is still with us, didn't know he was still U18 this coming season.

Hopefully he is starting to look at Rugby being his full time option.
Interesting that he's playing 7's for Jamaica, does that not lock him out of playing for England or is there still the loophole that lets you switch national sides in regards to 7's & 15's
I don't think he played in a actual international IRB comp though. Think it was in tournaments like Bournemouth 7's and the super sevens series.
