[QUOTE="Amiga500, post: 983325, member: 56767"] Yeah, they probably need another 3 or 4 top young players to go at the same time. Go out as a group - drive the incumbents onto a higher level by example and the ignorance of youth then either come back or settle. 1 or 2 guys probably won't move Connacht to the next level. But if they had an addition in each row of the pack that'd probably be enough to move them up a level. I also have to admit - I'm starting to wonder whether Andy Friend is the man to take them further - it was a pretty dismal showing over the Christmas interPros. He might be a nice guy and might have the backs weaving pretty patterns - but its all a bit soft and lateral. A bit more cut or brute force and ignorance may be needed at times. [/QUOTE]
