If Lachlan Patrick McCaffrey surely must be.

Pip can you tweet and ask him please?

He is already the holder of a passport of the UK of GB & NI so why not....

So that means he can play rugby for Ireland how?

That is an interesting point, does an Irish player have to have a Irish passport or does a British one count ? Discrimination if not ?

Shirley your passport is irrelevant. Jared has a NZ passport.

Needs an Irish granny.

Needs an Irish granny.

We know that one Dave.

Passports only count for the Olympics. Parity of esteem means if you want to be an Olympian in a sport represented by an all Ireland / cross border sports body then you need to get Republic of Ireland Paddyport.

What actual documents are required then to be "Irish" ? , is it eligible to get an Irish passport or something actually less stringent ?

[Dave]

You don't need documents. The Irish republic didn't have paper until 5 years ago. You just need an Irish granny and a leprechauny name like Seamus-Paddy O'Murphy. You could just make one up like Tagdhdhdghd (pronounced Kevin) Furlong did.

Joe Powell Brumbies would be a decent scrum half, has trained with the Wallabies senior squad but is uncapped.

No confusion, just spitballing.
