Wasps director of rugby Dai Young does not believe Marty Moore's move to the Aviva Premiership club will affect his international chances with Ireland.
The 24-year-old tighthead prop, who has featured in the last two winning Six Nations tournaments for his country, will move to the Ricoh Arena from Leinster next season.
Ireland's performance director David Nucifora has warned the country's top stars will be at a "disadvantage" for international selection if they play for clubs outside of the country.
But Young insists he will ensure Wasps players are given the opportunity to represent their countries and pointed to the fact they already have a number of international players on their books as evidence of this.
We've got Welsh internationals, Italians and next season we'll have an Irish international, and we want them all to play for their countries.
"I don't see us having any issues with our relationship with Ireland," said Young. "We'll want Marty to play for his country.
"We've got Welsh internationals, Italians and next season we'll have an Irish international, and we want them all to play for their countries.
"If they're playing for their country, it means they're probably playing well for us, and we'd support that 100 per cent.
"International rugby will only make him play well for Wasps. The experience of playing in different leagues and different scenarios, it can only improve players.
"So I don't see it as a massive issue, Marty being here next season rather than in Ireland.
"He must have felt he needed that new challenge, but from our point of view we're pleased to have him on board."
