What nationality of players now play top flight European Club Rugby?
First topic message reminder :
Theres always talk of Wolrd Rugby expanding etc and i wondered about how non 6n countries were getting exposure to top flight rugby.
What players from European countries play top level or even 2nd division...in the three main leagues..ie the RABO, the French or the EPL
Not listing English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, French or Italian players.
Several Georgian and Romanians in the French leagues.
1 Moldovan, 1 Cypriot and a Romanian in the RABO with the Welsh regions.
1 Spaniard in the french league
The Lund Brothers in the French Leagues (yes i know Magnus has played for England)
The odd Russian in the EPL
Any other nationalities you can think of playing top flight club rugby?

I thought Saracens had a Japanese player

I know he was on the bench for them when they played the Sharks in January.

I am guessing he had not appeared in an AP squad yet - which the numbers I gave were based on.
