[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 370098, member: 13611"] I agree with the first part, an A team is about developing talent rather than sticking in old war horses to try secure a victory. I disagree on the second part though. Magners League, Top 14, Aviva Premiership and especially Heineken Cup is a level above mid-season A international rugby where teams are cobbled together for one off fixtures. From Ireland's perspective, it was nice to see some youngsters get a run out since it shows they're somewhere in Declan Kidney's thoughts long term and it was useful for players like Gavin Duffy to get 80 minutes under his belt ahead of a possible 6 Nations start next week. The result really doesn't matter- I care far more about how Leinster will fare over the coming weeks than I do about the o2 Ireland Wolfhounds (TM). [/QUOTE]
