[QUOTE="sugary tae, post: 1183702, member: 78448"] provinces work because they aren’t artificial constructs like the regions etc. And definitely there should be as many ulster guys in an ulster squad and so on However What should never happen is a player who is 3rd or even 4th choice at one province is happy to stay put when two other provinces are having to go to the open market to pay a guy who cannot play for Ireland. That’s dead money. And Leinster by deft of their fantastic success and fantastic conveyor belt have a scenario whether guys like deegan or the Byrnes are able to stay put and be paid their value on the open market because of the central contracts. How much was vermeullen and ewers paid over the past 3 years. That’s paying the wages of your international opponents. There definitely should be allowances and incentives to produce Irish internationals. And there should be cover provided if there isn’t depth for them said guys are out with Ireland (_urc doesn’t really impinge on 6 nations etc any more) Poor development should not be tolerated. Control of players moving should come with cast iron guarantees to develop them. Shouldn’t be a scenario where the provinces are so hostile to each other. Should be interprovincial movement of coaches etc. Need to be clever. It’s about time we’ve all had this conversation [/QUOTE]
