[QUOTE="Peat, post: 822878, member: 42330"] Fair point on Henshaw's lack of game time. As for the coaching investments - I think it helps and is the right thing to do, but Erasmus has been at Munster for not long at all. Kiss only really in situ for a year. Farrell had a brief spell at Munster etc.etc. Right now, the coaches whose mark you can see on the Ireland team most are Schmidt and Cheika and the systems they put in at Leinster. Also, credit to whoever's been at the academy in that time. Carolan has been as vital to Connacht as Lam, if not more so. I'd add there's never been a coaching regime I've been happy with at Ulster. There's no question they've been asked to make silk purses out of pig's ears to an extent but equally, Ulster undercontribute because there's not been strong coaching regimes all the way through for a while. I get the feeling Munster's the same. Short term, the next big step forwards for Ireland is getting those two to pull their weight. [/QUOTE]
