Jordan benched as Townsend makes big call

The same could be said for a rugby player. At 28, Talea is in good nick and at the peak of his value. Wait until after the next WC, and he might find his market value has depleted markedly.

Besides, wing is one of the easier positions to fill and is transient by nature. We’d be far more concerned to lose a 10, 12, 4 or 8 for example. They are positions that require a lot of investment and player development. Another 14 will come along soon enough, and that’s no disrespect to Talea.

Playing under 4 different national coaches is very impressive.

Now you mention stadia, sure Ravenhill and the RDS are comparable but Leinster don’t play most of their games at the RDS anymore, do they?

They play most of their matches in the Aviva because the RDS is being redeveloped for capacity. You’re assertion that Leinster will not play in the RDS again is utter hogwash and a conspiracy theory (if even that).

So fanbase, sure Leinster have a larger fanbase and that’s a direct result of being, by a considerable distance, the largest urban population on Ireland, aided further by the absence of any top tier football teams that similar cities across other countries have. Once again an inherent advantage over the other provinces.

The population of Leinster is 2.9 million. The population of Ulster is 2.3 million. The population of the Dublin Urban area is about 1.3 million. If you quote 2 million at me, we can go for an 80 mile walk over the Wicklow mountains, not meet a house and not leave the ‘Greater Dublin Area’. If you were Irish you would know this. The population of Belfast urban area (including Bangor etc) is about .75 million. Not a major difference. Most of the soccer in Ireland is played in Dublin City so not an inherent advantage. A fact you just ‘Made up’ right?

Now Belfast has an element of this but it’s very much smaller in scale. Munster and Connacht, pretty negligible by comparison.

Yes, there are less private schools in Belfast but Ulster contributors here are clear that it is how they are managed. If you are saying the private school rugby playing population in Munster is negligable then you haven’t a clue. Any Cork player is private. Any Limerick player more or less community. Anyone who knows anything about Irish rugby knows this. Where do you think ROG POM and all those Cork guys came from? FEE paying schools.

Now what does that tell us about budgets when Munster were told to release Snyman last year who just happened to end up at…Leinster!

Munster were NOT told to release Snyman. They had 4 overseas players and were told to reduce it to 3, as all provinces must. They chose to Keep Jean Kleyne and release Snyman. That was a cock up by Munster but how can you blame Leinster for this? Leinster are allowed no more than 3. When Barrett goes, then they are entitled to bring in Ioane. Munster and other provinces will benefit from this sabbattical template Leinster use. Yet it is now being used to attack Leinster again?

Obviously you are free to comment about Irish rugby. But please stop with the BS.

If it's so obvious what Leinster are doing then why could your coaching not find a way to negate it?

Recovering stolen Bitcoin can feel like an insurmountable challenge, especially after falling victim to scams that promise high returns with little investment. My journey began with excitement when I first learned about Bitcoin mining pools. The idea of earning substantial profits from a modest investment was enticing. I was encouraged to invest $5,200, and soon found myself caught in a web of endless demands for more money to access my funds. As time went on, I paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars, believing that each payment would finally unlock my investments. However, the requests never ceased, and I soon realized I was trapped in a scam. The weight of losing $826,000 worth of Bitcoin was unbearable, and I felt utterly helpless. I reached out to authorities, but their responses were disheartening, leaving me feeling even more isolated in my struggle. In my desperation, I even went to pray, seeking guidance and hope in what felt like a hopeless situation. I poured my heart out, asking for a sign or a way to recover my lost funds. It was during this time of reflection that I began searching for solutions online, hoping to find a way to recover my investments. That’s when I stumbled upon FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY.
