I think we can come away from the game with an awful lot from it.
But I wish I'd...
had got to him before and that's on me but just to say thank you so much for everything he did for not only us personally but we're rugby's in a great state over someone like him and he put straight shapes and structures and there was a brilliant article in the Irish Times by John O'Sullivan if anyone saw it just kind of going through the impact and the different areas that he put in place in Irish rugby and it's a better spot for him
Would you?
I don't think that's accurate.
I think we've put the resources into them and unfortunately it hasn't given the rewards that we would all have wanted.
Like Leinster should be with the amount of central contracted players, with the amount of...
Assets they have, they have to have one more than they have.
And I think we're probably seeing that in terms of Team Ireland, it's a better model if there's more players and if the other provinces are strengthened, because I think...
to a unbelievable level and just you know what I mean they haven't got across the line at all.
They have the money, they have the economics, they have the kind of, you know what I mean, the Dublin market, which is our, you know what I mean, per head of population.
And if you look at the spend of that area, that is easier.
But I think it's blindsided.
It just actually shows the way the likes of James Tracy and them think.
It's crybaby stuff.
it genuinely is that he can't see beyond to the other provinces.
And I know we're tough on Leinster, but that's because they should be held to account and they're not held to account to the same standards as maybe the rest of them.
And when you have, you know what I mean?
Like, I don't even want to say it, but when your voice is like that being aired in the media to kind of always fan the flames for him, it would be better if he was more critical of the structures in place.
