A lot of interesting thoughts on the very obvious gap between Leinster and the other Irish provinces right now and how that gap might be closed.
At this point, it can only be closed by allowing NIQ signings in the exact areas where they are needed, as it has always been.

But let the other provinces sign players where they badly need them with the budgets we already have.
How do we help the guys that have already or are about to break through into the Munster team?
But we also need to give the players already through the pathway a chance to play on the front foot.

Why? Why get more money from the central fund paid for by fans of all provinces as a reward for demographics on your side?
Should Connacht then get the benefit of Henshaw’s central deal? Because it’s the same rationale.
Why would any promising Clare, Limerick or Tipp athlete look to rugby when it's clear IRFU policy is all in on blue.
Depends on the individual really.
Despite what some on social say, the players are not moved about. They’re offered options, but it’s up to them what they want to do.
