[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 781801, member: 45598"] Ireland aren't finding that out at all Tony! We have future internationals getting regular game time at the provinces in possibly all positions but 6(?), 10 (which should be changed next year) and 15. Ireland, along with it's two traditional provincial powerhouses, are in transition, not running out of talent. Scotland's issue is deeper, they aren't producing the talent for the clubs and rely heavily on SH and English rejects. It'll be hard to fix and without knowing anything about Scottish underage rugby I can't provide any idea for change but what works well he're in Ireland and specifically Leinster is having high quality and pressure competitions at u16 and u18 level to find stand out players. The issue is that it's primarily schools focused and the clubs don't get the same level of competition, if underage club rugby can catch up with schools I'd argue Ireland would have an ideal underage set up, not necessarily for success at age-grade level but for providing players to the provinces and subsequently the national team.
