[QUOTE="Peat, post: 632889, member: 42330"] Think calling Glasgow failing is overegging your argument somewhat. I can see the logic mind. Don't agree with it; I don't think once you've handed out the money that the SRU gives to the Pro game to the current Scots Premiership minus two, that you get a Championship-strength league. Not if you're going to invest more money in minis and schools rugby, and academy style structures, which I think is more important. I would point out that the AIL is, by most accounts, pretty poo, but there's still plenty of Irish lads getting signed up by Championship clubs on the strength or maybe a dozen of so Pro 12 games, a dozen or so A games and talent developed. The same thing a lot of young Scottish lads have in other word, save Scotland's talent development system is worse. I also think there's serious risks in trying to sell a game to kids where its "Btw, you can't watch anyone good at home, you can't aspire to playing for someone sorta local and being an international". They do need to find more money to fund development somewhere though. [/QUOTE]
