[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 932928, member: 39240"] Yes but as a 10 for example. Say we are preparing for Europe. Do you give Ian Keatley the bones of 4-5 weeks off to play a younger 10. The risk is then Ian could've came in rusty to Europe. Now Bill J was not fit. I agree it does take a few months of pain but we are just still in the era of getting 1 single base. This is improving and it will be 2 more years before you see a more steady flow. But look at guys like Fineen, Liam O'Connor, Sean O'Connor,Gavin Coombes and you will see other kids like Billy Scannell and other 20's get breakthrough. But the offset is we do need to try win games and build the base first. Confidence and ability is getting there with starters but not there yet. Like if you look at Leinster - they have a massive advantage as they have more schools at a higher level and more of a pool. And that helps when developing at competitive edge at academy stage.
