The rugby world was scandalized by Grannygate in 2000. What was it?
Answer Three players lied about their ancestry in order to play for Scotland and Wales.
Grannygate involved two New Zealanders who lied about their heritage to play for Wales, and one Englishman who did the same in order to join the Scottish team. According to World of Rugby rules, a player's eligibility is determined by fulfilling a residency requirement, or by where either he, one of his parents, or one of his grandparents was born.
