[QUOTE="Curls, post: 1036473, member: 46674"] I'm not entirely sure if the SA teams will stick around if there is a kiss and make up situation in the Southern Hemisphere on the table. Couple that with not knowing exactly how successful they will be I think there's a possibility they could fall away in one way or another. I could be wrong The issue with 2 divisions is how far ahead Leinster, Munster and Ulster are on a weekly basis. Doesn't matter who they play in the P14 or how many times, they'll win as many games as they need to be there in the final shake. 1) I agree that the IRFU motives were as you say, however I'm not sure they foresaw the absolute farce and cakewalk it would turn into. As I said when teams are not even sending their first team players to Dublin to face a 3rd string Leinster team with several first senior caps in it and losing on the end of a 7 try caning nobody really wins in the long run. Ultimately we get a false sense of quality when picking a national team 2) As I said LAR played to his interpretation better and adapted 3) I'm not sure the welfare system is serving its purpose fully now. The pudding is a bit over egged and the top internationals undercooked. 4) From anecdotal stuff I've heard Ross Byrnes lack of real spark coming behind Sexton could see Joey return to Leinster sooner rather than later ROG will know better than most the movings and shakings in Munster and unfortunately I'm not sure any amount of coaching acumen could remedy systemic issues at play [/QUOTE]
