Can someone tell me my assumptions are wrong.

Full internationaldy
An English born player plays for England at 18, doesn't play again after 3 years he plays for Wales (Welsh father), doesn't play again after 3 years he plays for Scotland (Scottish mother) doesn't play again after 3 years he plays for Ireland (Irish grandfather)

Please tell me I'm wrong

Who's Will Hurd of Leicester?

Don't recognise that name.

Good squad.

Players to wear smart mouthguards to help manage concussion

Quote
Players in this year's Six Nations will wear smart mouthguards to help medics manage concussion.

The custom-fitted mouthguards will deliver live updates enabling medical staff to determine when off-field head injury assessments are required.

They will be worn during training session as well as matches.

He had to restart in Exeter Uni.
Hence Chiefs offering a 5 year contract to cover the whole period of study.


The most recent example of this is Hal Amos who came home from RWC19 saw out his Cardiff contract and joined the NHS in his late 20s.


As an aside I suspect Educational costs are outside the salary cap so nicely done there Exeter.

Wales have a history of doctors, Adam Roberts recently and of course JPR - among many others.

I think he has already switched university, he was apparently at Aston for pre-clinical, which made sense with an academy place at Wasps.

But according to the press has moved to Exeter University, presumably for clinical now he is based there.
While unusual, it is not unheard of.

He's an interesting one.
Rugby has always been something to do before he becomes a doctor.
If he chooses Wales he'd need to change university halfway through a medical degree.

Good luck to him but as a welshman I'd prefer him in red.

A nice slow build-up to this year's tournament.


Quote
Exeter's in-form winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso looks set to choose England over Wales in a boost for head coach Steve Borthwick before the Six Nations.

The Cardiff-born 21-year-old represented Wales at age-grade level and had been tipped for a call-up to Warren Gatland's squad.

But it is understood he will attend an England alignment camp this week.

While that is no guarantee he will make Borthwick's final Six Nations squad, it is still a significant move.

Borthwick confirmed last week he had spoken to Feyi-Waboso and praised his excellent form for the Chiefs this season, with Rob Baxter's young side impressing in both the Premiership and Champions Cup.

"I name a squad on 17 January and what the players need to do is play well and earn their place in the selection. It is a competitive mix," said Borthwick.


Quote
All teams at this year's men's Six Nations are set to have their players' names on the back of shirts for the first time.

The move, hoped to help attract casual fans, follows that of the women's tournament last year.


Well...France obviously.
