[QUOTE="profitius, post: 392950, member: 41524"] Thats true but my point was that Munster have neglected the development of centers down through the years. They should have been scouting for players all along. The players they brought in were blocking nobody because there was nobody to block. I do think it might be changing now though. Time will tell. I think Munster need to sign centers for the time being and hopefully sort things out at underage. Theres about 6 NIQ players but they've managed to block Sexton and Ross in the past. People talk about McFadden and O'Malley not being given a chance to take kicks either because Nacewa takes them when Sexton doesn't. If McFadden was taking kicks all the time his would give Ireland more options. Down through the years Irish players were just not good enough so the 6 NIQ player quota was designed for a different era I think. I don't think it should be 3 straight away though. Give it another 3 or 4 years. There should be enough quality in the country by then. [/QUOTE]
