[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 1183682, member: 39240"] I think there is a mix of issues here. Demographics is just nature. Leinster schools have much more numbers so have a bigger pond to select from. Now I give you an example. [USER=45598]@Leonormous Boozer[/USER] you are correct on the Leinster Development Officers doing a superb job. And what annoys me is some of these guys are Munster men. So effectively Munster is suffering in being slower to identify the ability of some of these development officers but equally some of these guys look better as they have a better pool to look at. But take Gonzaga as an example. George Naoupu was on €85k per year at 1 stage as Director Of Rugby. This isn't a Leinster rugby/budget thing as they have nothing to do with that but it shows that if that is a wage for a Director Of Rugby there then that is what funds are around the schools for S&C levels. Then when it does come to Leinster picking guys. They are more advanced already and already have an idea of the professional requirements. Schools in Limerick/Cork are mainly non private and the private ones wouldn't have the same depth of donors. Now again it not a negative on the schools as they are afforded it but I suppose this is the imbalance that needs to try be balanced and I don't have an answer to that. [/QUOTE]
