[QUOTE="profitius, post: 769724, member: 41524"] I don't see Wales getting much better in the coming years. Gatland has squeezed every drop of effort out of them that he can. I can see Ireland getting stronger in the coming years. Loads of quality in the provinces waiting to be capped. The Scots are also improving from where they were a few years back. In the Pro 12 the Irish and Scottish teams are averaging a lot more points than the Welsh sides. France and England should improve. England will but I'm not sure about France because their clubs are running the show over there. The Irish numbers have been updated. Something like 13,000 senior males. Not a chance England have that many rugby players either. I suspect government grants have something to do with the numbers. [/QUOTE]
