[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 928113, member: 13611"] The big increase in revenue the Pro14 is receiving versus the old system shows conferences are working for that competition. I think it has helped foster new rivalries too. Munster v Glasgow and Leinster v Scarlets games have taken on an extra edge on top of traditional rivalries. Maybe this is another point entirely but England are dominant at u20 level showing really high skill levels whereas Ireland are rarely more than average. When it comes to senior level, Ireland overtake England in player development. What's the reason for this? Is it that Premiership coaches are risk averse and won't pick players who are clearly incredibly talented? Fear of relegation is a bullshit argument for being risk averse yet it has somehow gained traction. As you say, play to win. If an expansive game helps you win, do it. [/QUOTE]
