Big blow for them, a lot was clearly expected of them but now they'll have to do without.

Farcical really. This country lets all kinds in who have no intention of doing anything other than scrounging, yet we refuse sportsmen from a country like Fiji?

They can't win though. Them's the rules now. They'll keep out unsuitable types but as soon as a rugby player gets refused the rules are bad.

The regulations have changed recently and its now extremely hard for Visa dependent immigrants to gain access to this country.

The english tests are the latest measures introduced, and is absolutely correct in my opinion, its just years too late.
