[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 749898, member: 45598"] Ireland fixed their youth systems and have improved due to this. Had we kept our amateur set up we'd be in the **** just like the Scots. Teams who haven't been in top class competitions have been competitive in the past, Argentina, Canada, Romania etc... Because they got their set ups right, produced a generation of good players and pushed on from there, unfortunately due to varying reasons Canada and Romania couldn't sustain this. Any European side outside the 6n right now would beat Scotland and Italy 30% of the time at the very best and not get near the any of the rest. Rather than putting all their resources into the top level they should focus on their youth systems and experience fast improvement like Argentina and Ireland have in the past, then look at getting into a top tier competition.
