And on Twitter a few people are pointing out he's now eligible for Ireland with their issues with a backup to Sexton
Okay, I clearly have The Stupid. How is this possible? I know he has main team England caps.
Rules changed he can play for Ireland since he hasn’t had a England cap in the last 3 years
Ah. Thanks. Interesting if he did so...

After a bit of a ropey start, Wiggy really seems to have got Munster firing

Their last 6 fixtures were Sharks away, Stormers away, Sharks away, Glasgow away, Leinster away, Stormers away.

Insane schedule.

Just watched Wig’s interview after Munsters victory. Very very impressive and he is obviously highly thought of by the Munster squad.
As an aside he looks like he could still put a decent shift in and those ears are a thing of beauty

They were saying during a recent commentary that Kerr-Barlow the La Rochelle 9, was available for Australia even though he has All Blacks caps, and I think Fekitoa is now playing for Samoa
Yep, the Kerr-Barlow case was covered quite a lot earlier in the year. RWC final for NZ against Australia in 2015 but perfectly eligible for Australia this year. :smt001

Burns for Ireland? Why not? :smt003

I've put this bit of info on this thread for a family connection.

Posolo Tuilagi has been selected for the French U20 squad for the U20 World Cup to be held in South Africa between June 24th and July 14th.

Posolo, 6'4" and 145kgs (allegedly!) is the son of Henry (Tigers 2003/7) and nephew of Freddie (Tigers 2002/4) Alessana (Tigers 2004/12) and Manu (2009/20), and is surely destined to follow in their footsteps.

Have the French loaded their U20's in the same way they did in this years U20 6N e.g. including players who have regular Top 14 experience rather than bringing young new players through? I'm thinking of the excellent young No9 from Clermont

Yes, scrumhalf Baptiste Jauneau of Clermont, who’ll surely be in the senior squad in the near future.

They're not messing about with this squad are they - I expect them to win this years tournament at a canter https://www.ultimaterugby.com/france-u20s/squad

On Tuilagi children, I couldn't believe it when I looked Brian Tuilagi up the other day and he's already 29!

Any other nation and he'd probably be at the world cup. I think he played Vs England in the 6N (I think his only appearance due to playing for Clermont but could be wrong) and it was blatantly obvious he was a cut above. I'm expecting him to really make a big difference for France.

you're right - they played a 'typical' U20s team for all the games up to England then brought in the star young players including Jauneau and blitzed England in the second half
