[QUOTE="Toulousain ex French fan, post: 1215019, member: 89793"] The clubs have bent backwards (over, some might say…) for Galthié. He wanted 42 players in camp, he got it. He wanted the Premium system with 'protected players', he got it. Recently the financial compensation paid by the union to the clubs for the use of their players has dropped. It's always up to the clubs to carry the burden of the union mismanagement. It's not the system that's competent, it's the men that make it up. The Irish system works for the Irish, we don't have provinces, so it's a pretty meaningless comparison. It's just an excuse not to look at coaching issues that keep resurfacing under Galthié. Is the current generation not good enough to win more than one 6N in 5 years, who's going to believe that. It's funny to think the current Toulouse that make up the bulk of the starting XV didn't drop the ball on their way to 4 Top14 and 2 CCup in last 5 years…Hiding behind an 11-try rout of a 20’ test team like Italy is very well but it doesn’t tell us much, we’ll see in Dublin.
