      Although born in London, Rice is eligible to play for Ireland as his grandparents were from Cork. On 19 March 2017, Rice was named Republic of Ireland U17 player of the year. On 23 May 2017, only days after his Premier League debut, Rice was named in the Republic of Ireland squad to play friendlies against Mexico and Uruguay and a World Cup qualifier at home to Austria. He made his senior debut on 23 March 2018 in a 1–0 defeat to Turkey.

      In August 2018, Rice was omitted from the squad to play Wales by manager Martin O’Neill who said that Rice was considering switching to play for England after being approached by them.[By November 2018, having been omitted from three squads selected by O’Neill, Rice said he was no closer in deciding whether to play for Ireland or England. In December 2018, Rice met with new Ireland manager Mick McCarthy and his assistant, Robbie Keane. McCarthy said that Rice was a potential future captain of Ireland and that he would build the team around Rice should he decide to play for the country. On 13 February 2019, Rice pledged his future to England.

      It is what it is I tend to agree with Chucky once you make a Senior appearance for an international side that should be it but the rules allow for this sort of thing and until or if FIFA change the rules everyone will give themselves a headache banging their heads against a brick wall.?

        Good luck to the bloke in whatever he pleases. Isn’t that what it should be about? What business is it of anybody else’s?

        What a World we live in where everyone has to poke their nose in.

          NB there has to be rules or chaos and anarchy would be the order of the day.
          Our MP’s work under a seperate set of rules though!!!!

            Brian, this particular matter truly isn’t important to me, so I don’t understand why a thread was created in the first place.

            This place is just of a moment in lack of imagination and variety.

            There’s just no thought spared.

              NB…maybe you are right but it is a topic varied from City, Liverpool, Utd, Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal etc etc topics. I like to hear about what fans think outside there own team. I still cannot understnd the case for standing at football matches

                Agree with you Brian it was worth a discussion.

                Everyone has a slightly different view.

                Where Nil got it right was that within the rules Declan Rice is allowed to do as he pleases it’s not Rice’s fault the rules are as they are.
