Lawes Calls for England to Consider Overseas-Based Players
Former England forward Courtney Lawes says selection should no longer be limited to players at domestic clubs, according to BBC Sport.
England rugby selection should no longer be restricted to players based at domestic clubs, according to Courtney Lawes, who has earned more than 100 caps for the national team, BBC Sport reported.
Lawes argued that opening selection to players competing overseas would allow England to draw from a wider pool of talent.
The comments come amid ongoing debate in English rugby over the Rugby Football Union's current policy, which generally requires players to be based at clubs in England to be eligible for international selection.
BBC Sport did not provide further details on Lawes' specific proposals or timeline for any potential policy change in the report.
