[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1183725, member: 45598"] No I do get that but Cork and surrounding areas is where the players are being produced right? Having players, S&C coaches and support staff etc.. based in Cork would help a lot in that case. I know for a fact that when Bryan Cullen was Leinster’s S&C coach he worked with all of the top schools in Dublin, it was convenient and made sense. It’s something that Munster are likely missing out on now and is a gap to fill. UCD wasn’t just there for Leinster either, it was built gradually and is now a world class training facility. Anyway, this is more of a reaction to criticisms of Leinster not owning a stadium / stadium expenses as an excuse for Munster. It was a choice, maybe the best one but not without negatives. Deegan is probably at a point where a move abroad makes the most sense. He didn’t make the breakthrough expected at Leinster, he’s not on Irelands radar, any move to another province is a lateral one. If he stayed at Leinster and earned a start / bench spot, he’d likely make Ireland squads, he could start elsewhere in Ireland and not make it. I think that’s the mindset of most Leinster guys with international aspirations. As it stands for Deegan, if there’s no Leinster contract, go cash in in France. [/QUOTE]
