[QUOTE="dougie 10, post: 91881"] I have always thought that the way we nurture our players from club rugby to international has always been wrong. We take out these young players like Allen and Flood and as we have seen from the Autumn Internationals we don't give them the time to progress and we don't give them the pitch time they need. For exapmle in one of the tests we put Flood on for 10 minutes at fly half. Now I know he is a professional player but in no way shape or form can we expect a 19 year old to pick up the pace of the game and start running the show like you have to at 10 with 10 minutes left. Not only isit bad for the team but also its poor management because it would knock the confidence of the youngster. What we should be doing is nurturing our players by playing them in the lesser internationals we face and giving them international gametime. Just because they do it for their clubs, doesn't mean they can do it aat international level straight away. Its a different league of class. :bravo: [/QUOTE]
