[QUOTE="Groundhog, post: 1183678, member: 50079"] Without doubt, but are Sligo Grammar or Munchins going to have the money to put in place top level S&C to get players pro ready or get in top level coaches on six figures even with better support from the branch or the IRFU? I mean maybe in some isolated cases, but overall probably not. The Leinster schools system is a great, privately funded beast at its heart that can compete with the best of South African, English and NZ private school systems. There just isn't the same level of investment especially in public schools, which is why the axis of power in Munster for example is increasingly swinging towards Cork private schools. Ulster I think probably has the closest replica to Leinster schools at least traditionally. A good number of schools whose sole sporting focus is rugby. [/QUOTE]
