[QUOTE="erwanseb, post: 444314, member: 32863"] I would beg to differ, no coaching program can replace playing weeks in and out in the best club competition. A lot teams have now a 20+ strong professional player base that provide the bulk of the national team thanks to professional club competition in France, England, Japan. The French top 14 and pro D2 provide the spine of France, Argentina (17 players), Romania (8), Georgia (14), Tonga(6), Samoa (7), Fiji (8). Italian used to play in France but now went back to their newly opened franchise. The English premiership is hosting quite a few islanders too. In addition more respect from IRB and new competitions have allowed these player to have some game time together. [/QUOTE]
