The Phil and Ant Stats Show - Lightning pod on player eligibility and foreign-born RWC squad players

Published: Sept. 13, 2019, midnight

The Rugby World Cup begins in a week...you heard us right, a WEEK! All the squads have been chosen, typhoons (mostly) avoided and 20 nations will be competing for the Webb Ellis Trophy. But, are all the players selected from their country of origin? Do they know the local party song? If, for example, they aren't Scottish, do they even know what haggis is? This is the subject of Phil and Ant's forced lightning discussion (all will be revealed), as they tackle World Rugby's eligibility rules and the origins of the different World Cup squad. Also, this should've gone out on Wednesday but Adam cannot be trusted...this is known. Classic ERB.
