    McCarthy Scarsbrook debuted against Wales so he's ineligible also.

    Ewan Dowes is also ineligible as his only test match was against France.

    The guys who selected those guys will need to re-pick it seems.

    Yeah, see this is ****ed.

    If they have played for England or GB it should be enough to make the eligible.

    Its not like Rob would have no clue on how to rate Lee Briers.

    Agree. People will just have to take the risk that Rob wont know much about them etc

    Shouldnt have the test rule...

    If you wanna pick Pommy players that arent well known..then you risk them having a shit rating...Its a risk some people wanna take.

    Im pretty sure the reason that was the rule initially was because Rob didnt know that the ESL site had stats now...

    I don;t care if Tickle or Dowes stay in, but LMS wasn't eligible from the way the rules were first made he wasn't eligible ever!

    Rob only implemented the Test rule a week ago. A lot of those picks were made before it. It would be unfair to make them reselect from current player stocks and it would be too time consuming to restart the draft from where the first pick was made. Just suck it up and move on.

    I meant they had to play against Australia or New Zealand. Or was that there as well?

    Nah...You're right.

    If we make them pick again though it's also an unfair advantage... swapping a 15th round pick for what's available in the 30th round. No way a level playing field is going to come out of this.

    Well then teh adavantage should go to the guys who picked eligible players not the ones who picked fellas who weren't allowed and got caught out.

    Rob ****ed this up by not allowing blokes like Briers and the fella that Benny picked eligible.

    The onus needs to be on the person slecting the side to ensure his players are eligible.
