[QUOTE="Tooting Carmen, post: 1083544, member: 78546"] Looking at that table of the U20's Championship, only in 2014 and 2016 did Ireland finish higher-ranked than Wales, and in 2018 they were nearly relegated but for a last-minute win against Japan! It isn't like England, NZ or SA which routinely are at or near the top of the annual Championship. Certainly, Ireland has benefitted from better investment, management and a greater enthusiasm for its professional teams and academies than Wales has. But this doesn't mean that there are many more naturally gifted and talented players than in Wales. [/QUOTE]
