Giteau's law is a name given to a practice by the Australian Rugby Union introduced in 2015 to allow overseas based Australian rugby union players to be eligible to play for the Australian national rugby union team including the 2015 Rugby World Cup. It is named after Matt Giteau as the rule was seen as primarily to bring Giteau into the Australian side for the 2015 Rugby World Cup.〔 ==Background== Previously, players could only play for the Australian national rugby union team if they played for an Australian team in the Super 15 rugby competiion. Head coach Michael Cheika devised Giteau's Law to enable key overseas players to be eligible for the 2015 Rugby World Cup. In April 2015, the Australian Rugby Union announced this new arrangement. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Winners and losers under Giteau's Law )〕 The criteria to be selected for the national team under this law are: * Minimum 60 Test caps for Australia; and * Minimum 7 seasons at Super rugby level The rule also allows players to return to Test duty immediately if they have signed with a Super Rugby club for the following two years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Matt Giteau Cost Himself 250,000 By Pursuing Rugby World Cup Dream )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Giteau's law」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
