Pool D
Wales
Wales named an initial 30-man squad for the tournament in June 1999. The highlight of the selection was centre Jason Jones-Hughes, who was born in Australia, but was believed to be qualified for Wales through his father. The Australian Rugby Union (ARU) disputed Jones-Hughes' selection because he had already played for the Australian Barbarians, who were considered Australia's de facto second team.[2] This led to a protracted legal battle over Jones-Hughes' eligibility for Wales, in which the International Rugby Board initially ruled in Australia's favour;[3] on appeal, Wales were allowed to select Jones-Hughes,[4] but the ARU refused to release him from his contract with New South Wales.[5] Nevertheless, Jones-Hughes was ultimately allowed to join the Wales team and was named on the bench for the tournament opener against Argentina.[6]
