Can the provinces ever hope to emulate the Leinster academy?

MOD - discussion moved from the Leinster Ulster buildup thread Nah more likely that there should be a central academy that all provinces can get resources... trying to kill provincial loyalty etc.

I think it's pretty well known at this stage that during Munster's period of success the academy wasn't looked after very well. There was a huge vacuum left when the forwards in particular began to retire.

Part of that was being two or three deep in one position with players of similar ages.

I think we've strayed off topic here.

Let me know if the thread title isn't accurate
