Rhys Webb ineligible for Wales under new ruling

    Rhys Webb will be ineligible for selection for the Welsh national team due to the introduction of a new rule brought in by the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU).

    The 28-year-old scrum-half will be ruled out due to a change to WRU’s senior international selection policy for players based outside Wales.

    In future any player taking up a new contract not with a Welsh region must have won 60 caps to be eligible to play for Wales.

    Webb has signed to play for Toulon next season and has won just 28 Wales caps.
