[QUOTE="Feicarsinn, post: 635056, member: 22777"] I wouldn't say it's inevitable that other sides will move towards the French model. English sides are currently unable to do so due to the salary cap, while the Irish sides, being union controlled, will never allow the sort of number of foreign players that play in some of the French sides to be in their squads. I'm reasonably confident in our ability to continue to compete going forward. We had a poor outing on the weekend, it's not like the south of France has ever been an easy place to go, even before the money started rolling in. Meanwhile Munster absolutely stuffed Toulouse. The provincial model is still producing the goods pretty well. [/QUOTE]
