Fixed that for you.
Always argued it was a myth when it came to the crunch. Unlike prissy little England, fortunately along with Toxic Rob the 'overseas' rule will get dumped as EJ settles in and takes T'eo and Underhill for Down Under jollies.
Leicester Tigers 1995-
Nottingham 1995-2000
Swansea (Whites) 1988-95
A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

T'eo would be allowed to come having signed for an English club next season as once the summer starts he is at said club for pre-season..

Underhill is interesting but then again I would say special circumstances initially just to keep him away from the Welsh..once capped normal rules apply :smt003

Think the clubs are allowing Underhill as he went to Wales primaryly to study.

Didn't Underhill recently come out and say he has absolutely no interest in playing for Wales but that he was going to finish his studies there and then come back to an AP club?

I also noticed Corry saying he needs to come home to a top AP club if he want's a good shot at the England squad, wonder if Corry has personally suggested which top AP club to go too :smt002

Hmmm...could be interesting, particularly if Tait does go to Gloucs!
Who was the last Sarries player to come to Tigers? Excluding Goodie I can only think of Chris Tarbuck.
Wasn't Julian White Sorries before Bristol?

Underhill is on record as saying he wants to play for England as he's English but will honour his club contract in Wales.
Nowadays referees decide matches, players by how much.

Where has the Tait rumour come from?

I don't think you're right there. I'm happy to be corrected.

My understanding is he was at school in County Durham and signed for Newcastle while he was doing his A Levels. He then famously made an early breakthrough and was in the England squad at 19.
