Feel like this is an over hashed and somewhat redundant argument.The Irish team is 40% players who were born and raised elsewhere.
Surely the rise of Irish rugby coincided with the rise of import players.
Ireland/ Scotland/ Whoever haven't broken any rules, and I personally don't think it should be the big ugly asterisk over their success that people seem to make it out to be. Almost all teams benefit from foreign born players. Not Ireland's fault NZ didn't rate Gibson Park and Aki, or Aus with Hansen - they put the work into these players and they got good over there.
