. . . but if he was Irish qualified, Ireland wouldn't select him cos he's Ulsterish, ergo he still gets to play during international breaks.

Re: Duane Vermeulen
If he was Ulsterish then he would be broken the rest of the year and only available during the international windowssolidarity wrote: ↑Sun Dec 26, 2021 8:17 pmCap'n Grumpy wrote: ↑Sun Dec 26, 2021 1:36 amAs a Saffa, we may lose him when they are playing internationals . . .solidarity wrote: ↑Sat Dec 25, 2021 11:54 pmWould we rather lose him to internationals with the Saffers or with Ireland?

Re: Duane Vermeulen
But apparently he will still consistently play 80 minutes week in, week out, throughout the season - even if broken, he's held together by all that strapping . . . apparently.StandUp wrote: ↑Sun Dec 26, 2021 8:47 pmIf he was Ulsterish then he would be broken the rest of the year and only available during the international windowssolidarity wrote: ↑Sun Dec 26, 2021 8:17 pmCap'n Grumpy wrote: ↑Sun Dec 26, 2021 1:36 amAs a Saffa, we may lose him when they are playing internationals . . .solidarity wrote: ↑Sat Dec 25, 2021 11:54 pmWould we rather lose him to internationals with the Saffers or with Ireland?
