Here's your Baby Blacks team, plus/minus a few other players:
New Zealand Under 20 squad named
The next generation of rugby stars will have the opportunity to don the black jersey next month with a New Zealand Under 20 squad named today for their first international fixtures in three years.
Is Joe Brial related to this fucktard?
He lives down Queenstown way now.
Rather embarrassing set of punches really. He didn't get a red card because the ref thought he was tickling Bunce. Red cards were for proper punches only 😁

@Crucial a good chiefs man like yourself wouldn't dare forget Samipeni Finau😉
Nah. Happy with him as a Super player. Hasn’t shown anything that makes me think AB though.
Hey @mariner4life, this guy reckons you suck

He's probably right
But he's wrong about Finau who is the only player in NZ that likes to wreck fluffybunnies. Need him the Republic folding Boks and getting them looking.

@Nepia said in Baby Blacks:
Is Brial eligible for NZ via birth?
No, although I read that the Brial family spends part of the year in the Queenstown area. Having arguments over building plans with neighbours, so nothing has changed.

Is his Mum a Kiwi? If not then is he using residency? And then I'd assume that would needed to have started after he left school.

Joe has been in NZ since he was 8 so I presume Residency.

Only if he moved here without his parents/family.

I was more meaning that he went to school in Oz. Is he a resident of NZ when he's doing his schooling over there?

@Stargazer said in Baby Blacks:
@Nepia Depends on where his parental home is.
So if his parents live in NZ then that would be considered his parental home and it would be counted for his residency purposes, even though he lives most of the year in Oz?

@Nepia I don't know the details of his schooling in Oz, so hard to aswer that question.
This is from the Explanatory Guidelines to Regulation 8 (Eligibility):
19 What is the position of students?
As far as students are concerned, particularly those that are not financially independent, being resident, as a full-time student, in another country, is likely to be considered as a series of temporary absences from the parental home. It is anticipated that in the majority of cases involving students the parental home is likely to continue to constitute the student’s permanent and primary home. Accordingly, attendance at school by a person who has not yet reached the age of majority in such circumstances is unlikely to break a Player’s consecutive period of Residence. However, as in all matters of eligibility, the overriding concern of the Regulations Committee in assessing any such case will be to ensure that there remains a close, credible and established link with the country in which the Player claims to have retained his primary and permanent home. There could be circumstances in which a student living in another country may wish to elect to commence a new period of residency in the country in which they are studying, for example where the Player is attending college/university (having reached the age of majority) in the jurisdiction of another Union and has relocated there on a permanent basis i.e. has only taken short breaks away from that new country as set out in paragraph 16 above. In cases involving students, the relevant Union and Player are advised to request a ruling from the Regulations Committee to ensure compliance in advance of the Player representing the Union. It is not permissible for a Union or educational establishment to offer scholarships or other benefits that restrict a Player’s ability to choose which Union they wish to represent. -

And is that eligibility set in stone from that date.
I assume this situation doesn't come up very often.
