[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 108912"] The difference is that the Magners legue is used by the Welsh, Irish and Scottish as a stepping stone to international rugby. The entire structure in these countries are set up to benefit the national teams. That isn't the case in England where it appears to me that club rugby to many is more important than international. You would be hard pushed to find a Welshman with that attitude. There's nothing wrong with either, just different priorities. I was using Delve as an example. There always seems to be countless English internationals out at any given time. If something isn't done, there's just going to be one after another of Wilkinson's with huge potential, but always injured. NZ have it right, they protect their players increadibly well, and they are reaping the rewards at international level. [/QUOTE]
