Unless I include my exiled French Hugenot ancestors I can only play for England.

England, Australia, Malta, Gibralter.

I think I could probably get at least a bench spot for the latter.

What are the rules? As far back as grandparents? Plus residency for how many years in a foreign country? My great grandmother was welsh so i think only England for me

The rules appear to be changing.....looks like you could now play for Brazil if you've had a tackle trim.

Wales via my mums side parents, Northern Ireland via my dad's mum, Scotland via my dad's grandad. England via my parents.

Germany via my uncle's politics...don't ask!

Just England, pretty boringly.

I was born here, my parents were born here, their parents were born here and so on (going back a few hundred years I think). Also lived here for my whole life

England, Malta through grandparents. If we are taking parents in law into consideration then also Taiwan.

England and I had a German great grandparent who fled the German regime in the First World War, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't count so just England. Boring but pure
