Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
I was making a slightly different point, that Leinster despite their obvious quality have been failing to get the job done at season's end for a few years now. Munster are spending this week in Cape Town because they really like their base there. I can't help but fear that that's a risk seeing as h...

Lots of Leinster folk getting very defensive. It's ok to say ye benefit more than others from the current system. Nobody is blaming Leinster. It's the IRFU is the problem.
