Maybe also our new regime will move away from the " they will be better when they are older........." theory. If not good enough at 20/21/22 they are not going to be good enough. Look at the number of young out halves starting to populate the English Premier.
Clark Logan also in.

Nowhere near the level of LoganUlsterAreBrill wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 2:12 pm On the topic of scrum halves, is Soper’s son not a leaver this year? He has played underage representative rugby?
Not that that is a measure of quality but if he was a leaver surely he’s worth a punt

I get what you’re saying but if they are better than what we have (which they are) then you take them no problem.UlsterAreBrill wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 2:11 pmRegardless of how good they are, more Leinster cast offs is frustratingkingofthehill wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 12:44 pm Murphy and de Klerk are quality.

Weird that Leinster seem to be taking another centre who was behind both at Irish u20 level
I couldn't care less if they're from Leinster. The schools system in Ulster is failing, especially at the senior schools level, compared to the South due to lack of investment.ljsulster wrote:I get what you’re saying but if they are better than what we have (which they are) then you take them no problem.UlsterAreBrill wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 2:11 pmRegardless of how good they are, more Leinster cast offs is frustratingkingofthehill wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 12:44 pm Murphy and de Klerk are quality.

It's also a blow to the pride that we can't produce a half decent flow of quality players
