Could it be the Academy conditioning is benefiting them followed by the skills they learn at their clubs?

Allegedly the academy forward basically only repeat the same drill anytime they are "coached" so you could be right. But allegedly our academy is the best academy in Ireland.

I believe we are the only province where academy players don't train with the senior squad regularly.
