[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 1183713, member: 39240"] But here is where you are totally missing the point. Cork clubs are picky at best of times. Like alot of Munster players do help out with local clubs. You look at Michaels or Rocks facilities. They have top S&C coaches, they have their own astro pitches or 2 or 3 training pitches. They have scrum machines, they have director of rugby. They are financially well staked and then they have alot more than just 1 or 2. Cork have 2 that don't come next to near that. Limerick have nothing like that. The metropolitan area is not the issue. Players do go in to clubs and schools. We have development officers in clubs or schools but unless these lads do have top S&C coaches, facilities and what not the foundations are always different and it is almost always non-comparable. A study was done on all this regards Cork vs Limerick when looking at where to base training facilities and all this regards academies and that. Cork fell a long way behind and even Cork people would admit that. I do agree Cork have better Schools at the moment but only 2. The closest we got was wen Bandon got private investment for 2 years for Regis Sonnes. He has had an effect on alot of the current crop. But that doesn't change if in Cork or Limerick. That private investment was massive and that was for 2 years (and he was doing it for nearly free as he was here more fore education side than rugby) but Dublin schools that is the norm. [/QUOTE]
