[QUOTE="Jukka, post: 7043759, member: 18362"] Leinster in rugby are going to start drawing the same sort of questions that Dublin get in the GAA quite soon. And unlike the GAA, there's non Irish competitors who'll push the needle on it and start pressuring the IRFU into capping their spend and their squad. The population is one thing, but they're still only tapping into a fraction of it as most players are coming from a handful of private schools. The resources the Leinster schools have are beyond what the vast majority of schools in Munster and probably Ulster can dream of, and they're basically working 8 sub academys. The current coaching set up is definitely making an even bigger difference than there is to start with, but all that being equal it's hard to see a time when Leinster will be anything other significantly stronger than all other provinces.
