The Daily Mail's Rob Wildman talks to Toby Booth who pleas for common sense to prevail in the eligibility row surrounding the centre.
"London Irish head coach Toby Booth hopes ‘common sense’ will be used in the row over the international eligibility of centre Steven Shingler, who was only a substitute in Irish’s 22-15 defeat by Cardiff Blues. Shingler has been picked in Scotland’s Six Nations squad but Wales blocked his path after he played for their Under 20s team. Swansea-born Shingler, whose mother came from Dumfries, must hope an appeal overturns the decision that he is ‘tied’ to Wales. Booth said: ‘Steve wants to play at the best level he can. One country has shown an interest, the other hasn’t.’"
