You've got to get your first tackle in early, even if it's late.

Stud--ing - Freudian slip!!
From the rolling glens of Antrim through the hills of Donegal we will stand and shout for Ulster as we win both scrum and maul from the lovely lakes of Fermanagh tae the shores of ould Lough Gall we will scream and shout for Ulster as we beat them one and all!

He'll need to have an EU passport already though... Non-EU rugby players need an international cap to get a UK work permit.
Re: New Players........

Re: New Players........
What about Filo Paulo? He's been at Ulster for some time, but because he is a New Zealander, he can't get a work permit for UR....I hope its him-he is a tank. Cool hair-do as-well!

Thought if you lived and played in a country for three years you could qualify to play for that country. As long as you hadn't played an 'A' or full international.Rooster wrote:Is that possible ?GerryO' wrote:Does

Not sure if that applies to it is getting him permission to play at all professionally is the problem.

Re: New Players........
From the IRB's perspective, you might be qualified to play for the country.... but from the Home Office's perspective, you'll still need a work permit to play as a professional rugby player - and they currently require the player to already have an international cap before granting a work permit as a pro player.GerryO' wrote:Thought if you lived and played in a country for three years you could qualify to play for that country.

I think it is 5 years residency (or 3 if you are married to a UK citizen) before you can apply for UK citizenship or right of abode after which you have unrestricted employment.
