  That try has taken the pressure off France now. Bonus point too. They will feel relieved…hehe.

  Doubt this French side will worry the ABs much.

  @ Puma:
  IRB Rules say that if you live in a country for 3 consequetive years and have not represented another country at senior 15 a side Rugby you qualify to play for your adopted country. NOTE, you can still qualify if you’ve played at age group 15’s or 7’s for your country of birth.

  Hence Hendrie Fourie plays for England etc…..

  Of course you can also qualify through Naturalisation and / or marraige and heritage.

  France just might get up the dander to go close in this world cup, because they cocked the last one up so badly.

  These first few games have all been huge wake-up calls for the bigger sides, so far!

  What happens if you have two passports and then go and live in the original country again can you go back to your original international team?

  @ Scrumdown:97 – Knew that but thought the made it to 5 years. 3 years is just a shame really. They should make it 5 years living in a country to play for that country. Otherwise next we will see so many Saffas playing for Japan. Cause they probably will pay them to play there for their clubs and give them citizenship to play for Japan after 3 years. Think players earn more playing in Japan than anywhere else. So hope we don’t lose any saffa players to Japan.

  Think they may be looking out for 2019 when they hold the world cup. I won’t be surprised to see many more from other contries playing for Japan by that time.

  HUGE quedos to Japan. If the results continue thus it may show that Rugby Union is indeed developing.

  As I said earlier, the French should score a couple of tries in the last 10.

  @ 4man:102 – No. Once a player plays for a country he can’t go and play for another again. The reason we Barritt can’t play for South Africa.

  106@ Puma:
  IRB rules dicitate that you don’t need citizenship to play for your adopted country.

  The case with Beast was that SA law says a person cannot represent SA at national level in any sport unless you are a SA citizen.
