Ireland Team Talk XII: Farrell's First Fifteen

The 7s wasn't dying on its feet. They had made huge improvements in a very short period and the 7s program was producing players for the 15s as well. Humphreys came in and slowly killed the program and then it was dying on its feet. Ireland has 4 provinces and it was a valuable option to get players who might have dropped out of the system back into rugby. The so called savings was never confirmed what that was and what happened to the money

In terms of a disaster, I listed out a lot above. Farrell was hired by Nucifora

The remains of what Leinster is got to the final, before the last cut Humphreys has had at them, look at the list of exits from Leinster since he took over. Look at the list of exits this season with only Joey coming in, a player that Humphreys didn't want to go to Leinster, he wanted him to go to Ulster

How many coachs have left provinces since he took over?

The U20 are going well but he made a total disaster of them with his mate hired in…..

So you can ignore what I posted before, you can ignore what I have posted now but honeslty as each day goes by he looks more and more like the JohN Delaney of the IRFU, a lot of people thought he was a great lad as well

Ireland won how many 6 nations when Nucifora was in his role?

The World Cup is loss making and even if Ireland won it they would still end up with a massive debt at the end of it.

The provinces are keeping the IRFU alive, without the players coming from the academies and been developed in the provinces they would have no international team.

The IRFU for years have given millions and millions to all of the provinces to produce players. Now which of those provinces has been the most successful at producing players? would you not then help that province so they can produce more players or just try and hinder them at every turn?

The only self serving nonsense is coming from yourself, you don't give a shite if Ireland goes backwards because of what Humphreys does, just once Leinster are not one of the top teams in Europe. Like a lot of small minded rugby fans thats all they care about, its never about a bigger picture or what will help Ireland. Its just bitterness towards another province

Humphreys is an incompetent fool and as I said Lowe is gone, others nearly went as well when he fecked around with contract. POM etc all had the same mess played out in the media.

I know what is going on in Leinster, they got told by the IRFU to produce loads of playuers for ireland. They did that.

They got told by the IRFU they had to let some players move to other provinces to bulk those provinces up. They did that

What was the reward?

What was the reward for the other provinces who didn't produce players for Ireland even after getting millions for years?

Humphreys has come in and because he is incompetent he wants to reward incompetence. Give it 10 years when he has wasted millions and millions with little to no return from the other provinces and he has taken Leinster down Im sure you will still be clapping him on the back and telling him he done a great job because now none of the provinces or Ireland are competitive anymore.

Anthony Eddy was responsible for the womens game. He was not very good

The womens game by the way is more than the 15s game. Like it or loathe it the plan from Nucifora etc was to promote the 7s game and the 15s was not a priority. Was that a wrong decision? looking back it probably was.

The reason they seemingly done this was because it was easier to get players in 7s rugby because it was a simple game and you could attract runners etc to it. The 15s is more difficult.

So was the women game destroyed? no the 7s was really strong. The 15s was a mess.

Is it brillant now? no its not but you seem to think it is.

If it was such a huge saving then why haven't the IRFU confirmed it?

Not sure how you can claim Leinster have wasted the last few years, they have got to multiple finals and won the URC last year and could retain it this year. I don't see that as wasted at all
