[QUOTE="lucky number 7, post: 497517, member: 39747"] Daddy knows some people.. :p Well there are numerous methods whereby the elite country players can have a stab at going pro , for example through the Regional and then provincial club system , however from experience , these players don't get the same degree of exposure for one reason or another , the only players I know of having come through that system are Tadgh Furlong or Sean O'Brien. Whereas many players I played with on this system would have probably made it to the top tier of underage if they had the same degree of coachingn that high end schools players get. Now there is a big push in leinster for the improvement in Coaching standards at grassroots level and I reckon it will help alot but I really don't think it's possible for club sides or smaller schools to reach the level of the elite schools who train perhaps 4 times a week.
