[QUOTE="HowieLO6, post: 741707, member: 52873"] Come now. I take the time to respond to your points, yet you get a free pass with a no and a white flag? Where has it been said that they'd knock over Elite teams? Take a look back, all thats had been said is that they'd put up a challenge to the celtic nations. Please feel free to point me in the direction as to where either of us say that Elite teams would be knocked over. Its not so much piggybacking as simply have the land, the money and the inclination. More taking advantage of recent developments in football and the health implications. Although why does it matter if the gym and training facilities are built for the entire athletics setup at a school, rather than just rugby? That physical infrastructure remains there, just serving multiple purposes. Hartbury provide for a multitude of sports. In terms of coaching, you're not wrong. But you underestimate how much money high school sports have, and how much rugby is gaining traction in the areas where this is greatest. No idea what the No is for. I'm assuming thats the equivalent of one-upmanship, showing me who's the big dog in here. Noted. But I still think you're wrong there. The turnover in u20 teams is relatively high, due to the nature of the competition. But just in case you've forgotten already, there's no suggestion that they will do over an elite teams. [/QUOTE]
