I think we can create good pack players. I however feel there are bigger problems with our school and youth systems that need addressed

Players in Leinster leave school wanting to play rugby
Players in munterville at their clubs want to play for munter

Players at our schools cannot wait to give up and go abroad to study
Down with education and all that sort of thing.

Having read only hastily through the article and declaring myself a NOC, a discerning reader might well conclude that the aim has always been to churn out good solid rounded chaps who will prosper from their connections even if they may individually be cerebrally challenged.

I can neither applaud nor condemn such an ethos, merely remark on its probable existence.

All fits in with my friend John who I quoted recently about you finding some OC thinks but few of them unemployed.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Why is that a bad thing? Imagine kids putting education first, who'd of thunk it

"hey da, after 14 years at skool I got 10 GCSE's and 3 A levels, and I have a chance to go to Oxford,Cambridge,Harvard etc,etc"

No I think it covers what you posted
I think you may be getting confused with the tom kite you make up then post, unless of course you can back up your ramblings

Ok I'll accept your change of direction, I have little interest TBH, my son has already told me when he has finished his A levels, he wants to go to Otago uni in NZ or Exeter Uni, to study and develop his rugby.
