@Nepia I don't know the details of his schooling in Oz, so hard to aswer that question.
This is from the Explanatory Guidelines to Regulation 8 (Eligibility):
19 What is the position of students?
As far as students are concerned, particularly those that are not financially independent, being resident, as a full-time student, in another country, is likely to be considered as a series of temporary absences from the parental home. It is anticipated that in the majority of cases involving students the parental home is likely to continue to constitute the student’s permanent and primary home. Accordingly, attendance at school by a person who has not yet reached the age of majority in such circumstances is unlikely to break a Player’s consecutive period of Residence. However, as in all matters of eligibility, the overriding concern of the Regulations Committee in assessing any such case will be to ensure that there remains a close, credible and established link with the country in which the Player claims to have retained his primary and permanent home. There could be circumstances in which a student living in another country may wish to elect to commence a new period of residency in the country in which they are studying, for example where the Player is attending college/university (having reached the age of majority) in the jurisdiction of another Union and has relocated there on a permanent basis i.e. has only taken short breaks away from that new country as set out in paragraph 16 above. In cases involving students, the relevant Union and Player are advised to request a ruling from the Regulations Committee to ensure compliance in advance of the Player representing the Union. It is not permissible for a Union or educational establishment to offer scholarships or other benefits that restrict a Player’s ability to choose which Union they wish to represent. -

And is that eligibility set in stone from that date.
I assume this situation doesn't come up very often.

Here's your Baby Blacks team, plus/minus a few other players:
New Zealand Under 20 squad named
The next generation of rugby stars will have the opportunity to don the black jersey next month with a New Zealand Under 20 squad named today for their first international fixtures in three years.
You do know who the Baby Blacks were don't you?

@Crucial said in Baby Blacks:
Suafoa is another talked about around these parts.
Lord should be a go.
Would like to see more of Wrampling if he gets back playing. Could be a good midfield line impact player from the little bits I rememberThere are some, who have already posted on this thread who rate Samipeni Finau quite highly (cough cough @mariner4life cough) ...

@booboo lord knee injury, Gardiner is the donkey from crusaders & hey I rate MMT and I'm not from the bay🙂
I think that's twice now I have read Gardiner referred to as a donkey. He is a young guy just starting out at the higher levels. Give him a chance.

@Nepia said in Baby Blacks:
Is Brial eligible for NZ via birth?
No, although I read that the Brial family spends part of the year in the Queenstown area. Having arguments over building plans with neighbours, so nothing has changed.
Is his Mum a Kiwi? If not then is he using residency? And then I'd assume that would needed to have started after he left school.
Joe has been in NZ since he was 8 so I presume Residency.
Not this lad? https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-brial-76024517b/?originalSubdomain=au
If he is the son of the guy who tried to dust up NZ rugby royalty I'm surprised his father managed to get through customs without walking funny..

Be a bit old now. Generally in their

I think the thread title and name "Baby Blacks" causes some confusion.
"Baby Blacks" was a nickname originally used for the All Blacks team that beat France in Christchurch in 1986 with a lot of debutants in the line-up. This is something that very few younger and non-NZ rugby fans will remember.
In recent times, the nickname has been used and is far more widely known for the NZ Under 20s team.
When referring to the "Baby Blacks", I think most people will think of the NZ Under 20s team.

not on here they won't given our demographic

@mariner4life I definitely think of the NZ Under20s first. I assume that may have to do with the fact that I have no memory of that 1986 game at all. I was very young and lived in Europe at the time.

I don't. Maybe they could use a new name. Maybe the Black Diapers?

Is that because they will shit themselves when they see the opposition?
