[QUOTE="tirawleybaron, post: 1100884, member: 86125"] The IRFU pays 8-10 Leinster players on Central contracts, which effective gives them an advantage over everyone they play - they have experienced senior internationals from the No.1 ranked team in the world for free. Now a Leinster fan will say they are home grown, but if the IRFU organised their provinces fairly, they would be spreading the centrally contracted players where they are needed to make all their provinces as good as possible. Instead, the opposite happens - There are two Centrally contracted Connacht reared players playing for Leinster for free, while Connacht have to pay for replacement players who couldn't make it at Leinster. Leinsters consistency is a product of a system designed to give them an advantage over everyone else. If the Crusaders, Bulls or anyone else, were handed 2 world class internationals from another province and had their wages covered by someone else, then there would never be any talk of Leinster being the best club in the world. It's not an ordinary club, it's an IRFU suped up club designed to win and given every possible advantage to allow it do so. Even the illustrious Leinster schools rugby cup has a Munster school in it (Roscrea) [/QUOTE]
