I appreciate that they really commit to the bit on it, but

There are definitely some talented French riders coming up, but they’re still not quite getting those big results. Alaphilippe used to be one of the big 6, but he clearly isn’t any more.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
The solution is simple. Munster, Ulster, and, to a lesser extent, Connacht need to get their acts together. This. Leinster can probably help. As has been suggested, there ought to be some sharing of IP between the provinces, and no, Leinster’s big advantage isn’t having some fancy private schools.
