How are Wales any less ‘qualified’ than Eddie’s England?

IN response to last week’s letter from Stu Vigus regarding ‘Wonderous England’ failing to cope with Italy’s tactic – the team did eventually cope after some advice from ‘Uncle Eddie’, and congratulations to them for heeding that advice.

Pity Rob Howley failed to seek advice from ‘Uncle Warren’ when the boyos yet again failed to nail a heavyweight side (England) when they should have.

Perhaps Stu should give Wales selectors’ the benefit of his wisdom by suggesting they select more Welshmen than those born elsewhere.

Aren’t George North, Jake Ball, Hallom Amos and Matthew Morgan all English-born?

And Tomas Francis, Jonathan Davies and Ross Moriarty all born out of the Principality? How about Taulupe Faletau? Unfortunately we are where we are with residential ruling, Stu. IAN TITLEY Dorset

THE anti-English blether from Stu Vigus needs addressing.

In a similar situation to Eddie Jones, I am sure Gatland, Howley or Edwards would have had something to say about it, not to mention Welsh fans and media!

Personally I applaud Italy’s invention but would hate to watch that every week.

England field no more ‘qualified’ players than other nations in the competition. Wales have used as many players not born in the country they represent, but I dare say Mr Vigus does not mind that. DAVID DEEMING via email
