It is clear that Prior has not been capped for Zimbabwe.¹ There would seem to be no indication he even attended a squad session for the Africa Cup, despite the story entitled Rugby Union target Aussie rugby star as cited for this encyclopedia (i.e. in his Wikipedia article). Given:

• Prior's professional career as captain of the Western Force in both World Series Rugby,² and NRC,³ and
• The fact that Zimbabwe has no chance of competing in the 2019 Rugby World Cup;

then it is very unlikely that Prior will be capped for Zimbabwe in the future. As such, I have removed all mention of this non existent international career, other than the story of him being a potential recruit. Prior's only international appearances have been for Australia U20. Unless and until capped otherwise, he remains an Australian player. -- Ham105 (talk) 06:41, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
