Really he hasnt much option now has he ,after the shocking imo decision by the IRB.Wales screamed bloody murder and hailed him as a future welsh player .Now i wonder will he ever be considered ,as their are supposedly 5 players ahead of him for international honours in 2013.,and a raft ofyounger players comming through .With no A team i feel he will be forgotten by the welsh managment as another U20 catches their eye.

Dont wanna be funny, but he didnt want to play for us when he thought he had a better chance of playing for Scotland.

Think he should be left out to dry, dont touch him with a bargepole.

He should have decided where his heart lied and stuck with it.

I for one dont want to see him in a welsh shirt

how good is he actually - would he even be first choice 12 for either nation? maybe he can go live in madagascar for 3 years and then get the international rugby he so craves.... just like all the Saffa's seem to be doing over here - no recognition at home so come and qualify for a NH team.... sucks, should be upped to 5+ years...at least!!

Shingler has blown it, not sure if its naive or arrogance. Lets hope other young players hoping to jump the fence and fast track to international rugby will learn from this?

I think that more or less vindicates the WRU when everyone was saying Shingler was being unfairly treated and treated like a cinderella case. Nay, Shingler was just trying to fly the flag of convenience.

I think his antics will have put off a lot of people who otherwise would have supported him in challenging for a place in the Wales team.

I don't want anyone playing for Wales who would prefer to be somewhere else, we've made that mistake before and certainly shouldn't be repeating it.
