[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 532073, member: 13611"] You could equally argue that Leinster were able to rotate in the Heineken Cup last season and still win the competition. 25 different players started in last season's competition with a further 3 making appearances off the bench. 2 more players sat on the bench yet didn't make an appearance. That's the guts of 2 entire teams on Heineken Cup duty yet when Leinster do the same in the Pro 12, it's deemed a sign of that competition's weakness? Getting away from the Leinster v Exeter game but surely rather than bemoan the Irish provinces supposed advantages, the Premiership should be trying to improve themselves rather than drag everyone else down. Complain about the salary cap? Remove it, you imposed it on yourselves. Complain about relegation leading to a fear factor and redundant style of rugby? Nobody believes Leicester, SA_racens, Northampton or Harlequins were worried about relegation at the start of this season or last. [/QUOTE]
