Leinster Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread XII (The Byrne Supremacy)

No but they were patiently coached and developed, Leinster hardly went down and bought the Southern hemispheres best players.

WRU earn more than the IRFU maybe they should look into that.

Sorry, he fails to realise what?

He literally says, in the same interview:

“They have a very strong schools game over there and they are linked in to their academy system,” says Turnbull, who has been trying to deal with Leinster back row marauders since the days of British and Irish Lions stars Jamie Heaslip and Sean O‘Brien.

“If you have quality competitions at a younger age group level, it will breed competition among the players and you are only going to make them better. Ultimately, at junior level, that is what you are striving for. Later on, you will then have an abundance of talented players coming through.”

The petty nastiness against Wales on this board is embarrassing, spiteful, and pathetic.

Jesus that's quite the overreaction. I think most are just sick of the constant whining and zero solutions brought forward by the Welsh. Its always somebody else's fault as to why they're brutal

Our criticism of the Welsh is well justified, ever since Gatland they've been always launching jibes and digs at the Irish through their gutter press and they put forward no solutions regarding the league.

They didn't vote for us to host the world Cup instead voted to send their players and fans to South Africa.

Bahahaha

That is literally the definition of spiteful.

As for the league, surely the WRU have been just as involved as everyone else in the restructuring?!

Your part of the problem of being too much of a nice guy, about time the Irish developed a more nasty ruthless streak.

Nobody said the entire country of Wales, but the blazers, some players and their allies in Welsh media like Wales online are always throwing **** our way.

Again, you read a bit of an article in which a Welsh player was gushing in his praise of Leinster, and you decided he's "throwing sh1t"

The problem there is 100% you.

I'd agree tbh, some of it is a little over the top. Sure theres lots critisise regarding the WRU and their handling of the regions and so on, but a lot their issues simply stem from the countries economic situation. Sam Warburton gently tip toed around it in an interview a while back, but the reality is that Wales as a county isn't particularly flush with cash. Their teams can't afford the squad sizes we can, home grown or otherwise.

Anyway, I seem to be in a minority in thinking an entire country of people might not all be bad so maybe it is me.
