[QUOTE="profitius, post: 393106, member: 41524"] 2 opposing views. I tend to agree with Smartcooky but the others raise some valid points too. Its mainly about getting the balance right. Irelands coaching is also miles behind NZ, Smartcooky. If we were to invest in youth we'd need to invest in top quality coaches first. At least the provinces are actively running coaching courses for coaches around the country but theres a long way to go. The IRFU are running the game well from the state it was in in the 90's so don't have a massive problem with the current situation. But no doubt in the long term investing in youth is the way to go. Focusing too much on the short term is a bit silly and you'll reap what you sow. [/QUOTE]
