Overseas players.

I think you can do it as an amateur but is unbelievably difficult infact the paying of money is the least of the trouble 

You can't use an agent like rah rah rugby or inside running to find the player/s you want as the players/club would then be considered *professional" (set out in the right hand column of foreign player guide) and need to be contracted

You can't provide flights/ accommodation/gym membership/jobs /coaching minis or juniors/cost of living so no real way of persuading someone to come over from 10,000 miles away other than a bit of after match/training refreshments and aren't we a great bunch.

You then have to make sure that they're correctly registered and Visa is correct for them to able to play as one mistep in any of the above means that potentially a 5 point deduction for each player incorrectly registered as amateur,  per game so for example you have 3 player they'd knock 15 points (Medway RFC case set the precedent) 

It may be possible if a player travels with work but not many of them about in the last few years 

That's why there ain't many overseas players at lower league amateur sides anymore it's an absolute minefield. It's bloody difficult for professional sides to be honest
