[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 281095"] <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div> Good decision by the IRFU to take a game out of the traditional heartlands. Hopefully playing A games in Tallaght will become a long term project for Ireland and Leinster. The Tallaght strategy is already bearing fruit with Tallaght RFC having been set up in 2002. The club has already provided an Ireland U20 international (Kris Greene a couple of years ago). On another note, it appears Declan Kidney is being serious about trying to create a bigger pool of players capable of stepping up to international rugby.
