Which just reformated my post from rugbyrebels.
I make EQP is about 65% including the senior academy (all EQP), might be a little higher as I'm not sure about Malton and Stirzaker's status.

I think I read somewhere on this board that Bris thought Stirzaker was EQP when they signed him but then discovered he wasn't. On Wiki I found 2 contradictory statements:
"Stirzaker is eligible to represent three countries internationally. Australia, England, and South Africa."
"Stirzaker was selected and played for Australia XV (Wallabies) that played the French Barbarians in late 2016 losing 19–11 in Bordeaux"
The latter I assume precludes him from EQP status?
