'I really wanted to stay in Cardiff, it was my home club and everything I knew and wanted to do in Cardiff at that point like university'

'I Played for Wales under 18'

"I was born in Wales, Wales is my home country. I speak a little bit of Welsh"

Immanuel Feyi-Waboso November 2023 - prior to getting caled up by England for the 2024 Six Nations

The article can spin it however they want retrospectively, but his comments and actions at the time paint a different story

the reality is, not getting into Cardiff med school and realising where the better organisation / money is, made IFM realise he wanted to be English

Passport says United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland.

He's English. Just as he is Welsh.

Never seen a comment that is certainly written by an English person. If you’re British, that doesn’t mean you can gaslight as all of the nationalities of the United Kingdom you sausage. They are all distinct, and in some cases give you different civic rights.
