World Cup Squads

[Mattpoet]

I thought Jennings played for someone else last world cup

[LESStar58]

What about Keith Mason for Wales and Brett White for Ireland?

I had almost disregarded Mason because he hasn't played for Wales since 2002. I hadn't even thought of Whitey and Ireland.

White made himself available for the Wolfhounds in 2008. He qualifies under his grandfather who had quite a bit to do with his upbringing apparently

Italy are the dark horse of this World Cup.

I knew Whitey was eligible for Ireland but hadn't thought about it until Mattpoet mentioned it.

[LESStar58]

Oh, I see.

Mea culpa.

Nice work Mattpoet. I think Aiden Guerra is eligible for Italy. Would Moors be eligible for either Samoa or Tonga?

[Mattpoet]

good question, not sure. i said guerra for aus because he's eligible for qld according to zero tackle, he may well have dual eligibility though

[Mattpoet]

Squads won't be announced until October after the grand final
