[QUOTE="die_mole, post: 1090358, member: 73648"] they lost to a member-owned club in a city of 75,000. Leinster rosters 60 players and has right of first refusal over one of the best talent pipelines in the world. For them to stay under the Premiership salary cap their average salary would have to be under 83,000 pounds. I'm sure most their filler players are under that but most of their guys playing in Europe have to be well above that. Meanwhile clubs like La Rochelle have to compete on the open market with 20+ other clubs for French talent and find other talent to fill gaps that can't be filled with the French talent that is spread around more than just 4 teams. It's not like they are throwing contracts at every international superstars they are winning with guys like Liebenberg, West, and Sclavi. If Irish players were able to go on the open market instead of being forced to play for a province I couldn't imagine what Leinster's budget would be. [/QUOTE]
