[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 904823, member: 39240"] Don't get me wrong I hear you and agree. But the issue is as I stated you look at Leinster. Schools rugby is the pinnacle and well as I said alot are playing it as their main sport. Here the numbers are poor and structures are wrong. If you want what type of structure is needed here look no further than Band on over past few years. The link between the club and school. Hired a top coach (Ok not every school will get that quality) but that is the issue. Grassroots like well before the Academy. Schools rugby in Limerick is gone to pot a bit and standard is poor overall. BG8 thought I was having a dig at fee paying schools saying it was all on Dublin. What I was more saying is up there fee paying schools especially invested in a structure and it works. But equally there is a lot of schools up there investing in the structures and it is producing depth. Lads are in gym up there and training quantity wise like pros. That stands to them. But here in Munster or Ulster or Connacht that same commitment isn't there on a team level at that age and it plays a factor. And you then have because of it guys at 20 who are equivalent to Leinster guys at 18 [/QUOTE]
