New Zealand rugby eligibility debate continues despite changes

Rugby is a sport that heavily involves entertainment, and its eligibility rules are under scrutiny. Currently, New Zealand rugby players who play overseas cannot be selected for the national team, the All Blacks. This policy has been a point of debate among players and coaches. Scott Robertson, the All Blacks coach, previously mentioned he might challenge this rule. He wanted New Zealand Rugby to consider changing its selection policy to allow overseas players into the team. Robertson cited the Springboks as a successful example of using players from a global talent pool to strengthen their team. However, New Zealand Rugby has decided not to support any changes to this selection policy at this time. This situation continues to raise questions about fairness and competitiveness in rugby.
