Players from 'Tier 2' nations playing in Europe (2021/2022)

Here is a list of all the players from outside Tier 1 nations playing at a fully professional level in Western Europe (in the French Top 14 or Pro D2, English Premiership, or the Pro14). Those contracted to a team in a top tier league (Top 14, Premiership, Pro14) are in bold text.

The list is based on players who have a) been raised and gone through most of their development outside a Tier 1 nation at least to roughly age 16 or alternatively b) been called up to a national squad outside a Tier 1 nation at some level whether it be age grade, a selection team, or senior team either at 15 or 7s.

Players in Espoirs or Academy squads who have yet to make their senior first team professional debut are listed separately for easier readability. Also players who were predominantly raised outside a Tier 1 nation (such as Alivereti Raka, Vaea Fifita, Eli Snyman, Samu Ezeala etc) but have since gone on to be part of a squad at some level of another nation are in red text.

We have attempted to note which country each player mostly grew up and were raised in. Whilst for the majority of players this is obvious (Aj MacGinty grew up in Ireland, Tim Nanai-Williams in New Zealand for example), in others there could either be a mixture of countries, or in a few cases could be simply hard to find out exactly, so there is the possibility of error. Finally also noted is which players are officially cap tied through 15s, 7s, or a designated second team.

If there is an error or omission simply leave a comment and it will be corrected.
