Changes to rules around eligibility should not retrospectively capture players.
Should they retrospectively uncapture players?

That's the case of folau, eligible for NZ then not. Bizarre situation, once you're eligible you should stay that way, captured or not. Obviously it's not actually uncapturing, but that was my point. I don't like NZ picking non kiwis, but the rules as they apply to folau don't make sense

Then we're in agreement. When I said capture players, I meant the rules shouldn't be changed on them when they met the criteria at a certain point. Otherwise you could just keep moving the goal posts on them.
I'm becoming more convinced that World Rugby is dominated by imbeciles.

based on some other conversations, how is it this kid is allowed to play for Japan, 1 year out of High School, having not being born there?

@taniwharugby That's a fucking good question given the plight of players trying to get into the All Blacks. The only thing that I see different is where his family home was...

Yeah if you living there with parents it is different to being there on your own before you are 18
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..
