Could I play rugby for a country my grandparents are from?

Posted at: 2014-07-08 
My grandparents were welsh, my dad was born in England and so was I. I play rugby and would much rather play for Wales than England. I was just wondering if I would qualify for Wales even though I've been living in England all my life, thanks :)My grandparents were welsh, my dad was born in England and so was I.

Yes, there are players who do that. It happened today in the six nations, a French player who is from South Africa played for France because his grandparents were French.

yes but you can only play for one country internationally in your career

Yes, having Welsh born grand parents makes you eligible to play for Wales. You can also qualify by your parents being born there or by being a resident for 3 years.

Yes
