You would really have to say is Connaught more of our rivals these days as they have beaten us on a couple of occasions over the last number of years and have won a trophy (I jest but then do I?!)

Re: Rumour Mill
Some peow may consider that pedantry but the fact is that when you use the wrong spelling of Connacht everything you say appears like it was said by this guy.

Re: Rumour Mill
Murphry's law applies to correcting typos.
The worry is that some people seem to think that's the right way to spell Connacht and that needs to be stamped out.

Same could be said for Dublin vs outside the pale in Leinster and that was an issue for us over 10 years ago (ie the lunster supporters) but in fairness to Leinster that has been sorted out and now it’s constantly improving.

How many home grown players in the Leinster set up have come from non Dublin schools?
As a Munster fan from outside of Limerick, I think it is great to see so many players from outside of Limerick come through.
Munster have put the work into areas that would not be considered rugby strongholds, and are seeing players come through in those areas.

Fair play, I would genuinely assumed that most of the Leinster squad would either be Dubs, or lads from outside Dublin who learned their trade in a Dublin school.Oldschoolsocks wrote: ↑April 2nd, 2021, 3:35 pmHere’s a link to the senior squad viewtopic.php?f=2&t=25724 first post has school or club.

Re: Rumour Mill
Certainly true until fairly recently. And you can see in the squad the effect the Michael's rugby program had about 10 years ago... A lot of the current squad came through there.munster#1 wrote:Fair play, I would genuinely assumed that most of the Leinster squad would either be Dubs, or lads from outside Dublin who learned their trade in a Dublin school.Oldschoolsocks wrote: ↑April 2nd, 2021, 3:35 pmHere’s a link to the senior squad viewtopic.php?f=2&t=25724 first post has school or club.

Every day is a schools day.
But the balance has changed a lot over the last 5 years. They have a lot better connections with the club network and across the province now. And if you look at the academy there is a broader mix than 10 years ago
