[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1071656, member: 73592"] Bath academy - can't be far off the top 2 currently; U18s are doing well, and U20s have done well for 2-3 years now. The 19 players is "chosen" by Eddie - so attending training camps, and not the same as "capped". I'm not spotting the claim that it's 19 academy graduates. I have no idea if it's more than any other club, but I'd be instinctively surprised if it was. Top of my head Obano, Dunn, Stuart, Ewells, Stooke, McNally, Reid, Underhill, Ellis, Mercer Bailey, Ford, Ojomoh, Devoto, Joseph, McConnochie, Rokoduguni, Cokanasiga, Watson, DeGlanville There's 20 for you; and I'm not sure if Redpath made an Eddie squad after joining bath and before choosing Scotland. Of course it is, it's a fans forum - they're hardly going to be spinning everything in the most negative way possible and just giving up. AFAICR it's the first "b[COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]i[/COLOR]tch" about injuries I've seen from Bath this season - compared to Wasps' perpetual b[COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]i[/COLOR]tching about injuries earlier in the season, even whilst putting out a team that was much closer to first choice than Bath's, against Bath; all the noise was about how injury affected Wasps were. Even now it's a private b[COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]i[/COLOR]tch, and factually accurate. I'd also be surprised if many clubs have had the same level of injuries as Bath have this year. Again, positive spin, it's kinda the point of these things. Low bar. Very low bar. [/QUOTE]
