Just been reading Regulation 8 on international eligibility.

Once a player has played for either the Senior XV, next Senior XV or the 7s team they are locked in to that country.

Does anyone know where there is a list of 'next Senior XVs' by nation.

For example is it the u20s or NZ Maoris for NV?

Or Saxons or u20s in England.

I've googled this to death and can't find an answer??

Thanks, that's exactly what I was after. Next question, is the Junior All Blacks the team that plays in the U20 World Championship each year?

No. The U20 team is "New Zealand Under 20"

The "Junior All Blacks" (the name is something of a misnomer) is NZ "A", the Second Senior National XV under WR Regulation 8

Its not age restricted is and is the equivalent of "England Saxons", and "Irish Wolfhounds"
