With less than three months to go until this year's Rugby World Cup, the competing nations are ramping up their preparations with coaches tasked with making some big selection calls as they trim down their squads.
Most have already named their initial cohorts with some surprise names among the various ranks, including those who have switched allegiances ahead of this autumn's finals in France.
This is largely down to World Rugby changing their eligibility rules in 2021, with test-capped players now allowed to represent a second nation they are eligible for if they, their parents or their grandparents were born there - but only if they haven't played Test rugby for three years.
