[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1090650, member: 45598"] So? They've a young team, have only just started to back their academy like Leinster and are beginning to reap the rewards of this process. They're well established as a top 3 team in the league and need to take the next step. But they're still not as good as the Scarlets or Glasgow winning sides. Leinster have a population advantage over most teams but its the well established recruitment and academy system that has reaped rewards, when O'Connor was our coach and ignored youth we suffered. I could understand a roster cap if a development competition was introduced but salary caps only hurts the quality of rugby in the league and doesn't protect anyone financially like it does in England. If you made a cap at the amount needed for Welsh teams to survive you'd soon kill the competition, we need teams to catch up and challeng not drag the competent outfits down to the mean. [/QUOTE]
