"Residency" is defined as an unbroken period of residency in Wales. Non-Welsh students attending Welsh Universities and Colleges are not eligible for the first two years of their course.

Once the terms of eligibility have been met and representation taken place, the player retains the eligibility status provided that the commitment to Wales is maintained.
