I will put money on it that he did, it was around the time that DāArse, Shaggy and Murphy were all injured, he was close to getting a full cap as well I think
fixed flano wiki page for you
for the record does a cap = full international, he may have gotten A games as I said in the crossed post
edit: Hes def not a full international, 100%
I did mention naming a XV from A or full internationals.
Wasnāt Simon Geoghan born in England as well?

All full caps. Thats a good fucking back line!
Il come up with more forwards defo, struggling to think of any props
was mike ross born in irelandā¦nick poppawell was born in england as wellā¦
Thatās a fine back line, kind of sums up the game though doesnāt it? If you werenāt born to play in the pack your not even going to think about going in there, although there has to be some good flankers there somewhere
keith gleeson is anotherā¦
mike ross is from cashel or cork cant remember which, defo irish.
not sure about popplewell

Donāt agree with the courtship of Manning either for the record. Just because other countries have done it doesnāt make it right. Thereās enough representative rugby around without guys fecking off to play with whoever they want. NZ get a very bad press for this but the percentage of islanders on their team is roughly proportionate to the percentage of islanders in employment in NZ - itās just migration.
I donāt have any problem with the likes of Geogheghan, OāGara, Easterby, McGeady etc. because they chose a nationality that was open to them outside of rugby.
I donāt like when players choose a country when their only qualification is residency and when that residency is purely professional rugby related. Thatās getting into mercenary stuff.
Popplewell was born in Ireland I think.
There has to be a couple of Connaught lads that got a cap at some stage that were sent home for the holidays or something, Iām struggling for props here big time
Popplewell born in Dublin Iām sure. Family are from Wexford I think

Kiwis are the biggest Mercs in the world alright to be fair.
Overall the rugby worldwide playing pool is so small it is good to share the skills.
It has been good for Japan, USA, italy etc to add a bit of quality, proffessionalism and experience to there ranks. It has been tightened up a lot as well, not that long ago players could transfer after playing full international for another country.
I have no issue with NZ playing islanders either, just think they are trapping them by capping them in sevens when they have no real chance of making the grade.
justin bishop was born in london i thinkā¦wasnāt there a lad that got a few caps in the late 90ās/early 00ās that played in the front rwoā¦think he might have played for newcastle falcons alsoā¦
Wasnāt Jamie Heaslip born out foreign when his father was in the army or something? He could be 6
simon easterby is 6ā¦what with all his experience and capsā¦
Add Ben Gissing into the second row. Capped at A level as far as I know.
