Except they're not really a country, they're a Principality with free movement within the wider country (The UK) they're part of - of course lots of Welsh people are going to wind up living in England. Why would Wales not select those players?''a country with a century of history in a game that is their national sport uses heratige players to fill their squad''
That's why I'm going back to Wales. A country of 3 million people (not unsimilar to NZ) with RU as its national sport and they can't fill a full squad. Look, I'm fine with them doing so but just sick of the media lording RU as a ''global'' game when in truth it is not really that global as the Welsh RU amongst others can attest to.
Also, NZ has closer to 5m people.
