[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 989473, member: 13739"] Also don't see that. The regions seriously underperform imo. They have a lack of money to sign the quality overseas players that even sides like Leinster with their massive squad need to be the best. Squad depth can't compete with the Irish, English or French, which results in big drop offs when there are injuries. Coaching has also been sub par (apart from the Scarlets who got things right with Pivac and Moar). There are plenty of talented players there, more than there ever has been. This shows when they come together for Wales. I am concerned that if the Regions aren't sorted that things will catch up with the national side as well, but I don't think were there quite yet. The quality of players is there, and in most positions we can go a few deep. There's some key players missing atm, but that'll only make us atrobger in the long run. E.g. Tompkins had a much better game today. Needs to work on the timing of his passing,, but he caused France no end of problems and Vakatawa was kept relatively quiet. That'a a serious plus even when JD2 returns. [/QUOTE]
