On another thread Sean Morrison's eligibility to play for the Republic of Ireland was discussed.
If you were good enough, which country/countries would you be eligible to represent ?
As the rule stands I could only play for Wales. If it went back to my great grandparents, which it doesn't, I could play for the Republic of Ireland (on both sides of the family).
Wales, England (Cornwall), Scotland, Ireland
Only Wales for me, but I wouldn't chose any other nation anyway
But my boys were born in London, grew up here apart from their first few years.
My girls were born here.
But al 4 kids (though they're adults now) could choose Wales, England (my mrs) or Jockland Their gran)
For my kids it would be Wales, Switzerland (my parents), Ireland (my wife) or England (their place of birth and residence). However, chances of representing any of them at anything other than sitting behind a laptop seem very thin!
Wales and Ireland for me.
My son has an english mother and was born in Berlin but he never thinks of supporting anyone but Wales.
Unsure of the qualification requirements but I suppose I could play for England due to my grandfather.
My namesake already plays rugby for England though so I'll stick with Wales
Belgium, England, Israel, Netherlands & Wales.
I could only represent Wales if it goes back as far as Grandparents.
My kids could represent England, but they've been informed they would no longer be classed as my kids if they decided to go down that path.
Just Wales for me
Wales (Welsh father). England (English mother). Possibly Germany as I was born there albeit in a British army hospital.
There’s a few on here who’d qualify for Brazil, they’re nuts!
Wales and Greece (Grandfather)
Wales (I had an English great grandfather but otherwise all Welsh) and The People's Republic of South Yorkshire if residency rules apply (born in Cardiff but lived 95% of my life in England, most of that time in Sheffield).
I'm not sure of the current rules, but there's a possibility I could play for Wales, Russia and Poland via my adoptive parents and grandparents, or England and India via my birth parents and grandparents, or maybe all of those five.
I've no idea what the qualification rules are regarding adoptive relatives or even if such rules exist. I guess someone must have tested the water in that respect at some stage, but I've never heard or read about anyone doing so.
Wales (3 grand parents) England (the other one)
My boys are a mix of Wales, England, N.Ireland, Ireland or wherever they would choose being Manx
Wales, England, Scotland but there could only be 1 choice for ne, Wales.
