    @mariner4life said in Exodus 2019:

    @derm-mccrum are those Irish squad sizes correct? Between 60 and 69 players? Does that include the reserves side?

    All the 6 teams include both the senior and academy squads as they're called. In Ireland, we don't have "reserves' as such. The PRO14 Championship is 21 rounds, the European Cup has 6 pool rounds, (plus knockouts) and there's 10-12 tests to play, so players get game time. Last season, Leinster used 55 players during the season.

    At the weekend just gone, they went away to Dragons in Wales. Cullen decided to throw his kids in at the deep end, minded by Grandad Fardy. 5 first team benchers, 11 second and third choice, and 7 academy 19/20 year olds - mainly in the backline. 4 of the academy kids scored on the night in a absolute routing 59-10. The academy keeps on giving.

    Never mind the dry powder, metres-gained metrics, etc, etc... THIS, this gives me the fucking fear, as an All Blacks supporter.
    It really sounds like Ireland has got their shit together.

      The Boks probably have the most players in overseas leagues, the PI the most percentage of players, but man how many NZ pro/semi pro coaches are around the world? Really I think coaching is NZs biggest advantage, and because there are so few slots available here we are spreading our power (see Lions, Ireland). What are coaches salaries like, in Top 14 etc, compared to players?

      Conveniently ignores the international coaches which are the cream of the crop.

      Someone should do head coaches of the next RWC.

      Not sure how a graphic illustrating coaches at club level in a response to a discussion about club coaches manages to conveniently ignores test coaches. But dont’ let me stop you feeling all aggrieved and offended - it is Tuesday after all.

      I’ve got an idea - why don’t you list the head coaches for the next RWC? That could be interesting.

      And, please, do that in a separate thread. This thread is about the exodus of players/coaches in 2019.

      Now, I think of it. Maybe, if a mod would be so kind to move all these stats posts to a new, separate thread?

      No way. They’re staying here. They’re relevant - to where they’ve gone.

            of course they have, and it's fucking great. It's awesome to see what is achieved when the entire system is pointed in one direction. They have also made smart decisions with regards to personnel.

            Add in their geographical advantages (5 other top-tier rugby nations within shorter flight times than it would take me to get to the capital city of my state, let alone country) and it's a strong, sustainable combination that should continue to deliver positive results.

              Wales and Scotland have started to follow suit - Wales now have about 60 in their academies and they are starting to bear fruit with more investment from WRU to come through.
              Scotland have some green shoots starting but their playing pool isn't getting any bigger for now- and some of their key players are still going to England or France. Hogg the latest.

                Perhaps because that post is in response to a post that explicitly mentions Schmidt and Gatland? A bottom of the table Pro14 club coach from another country isn't relevant to loss of NZ depth as the last Lions coach or grand slam winning coach in a thread about NZ rugby players and coaches overseas in 2019.

                                I’m trying to remember now, he was posting under the other name at least as far back as 2015 .

                                        Not that I ever believe rumours spread by (French) media about players signing or not signing, but I'm eagerly awaiting the news from NZR/Hurricanes about Ardie re-signing.

                                          Decided to use my name on this and a couple of other worthwhile fora. I use PotHale on most other fora. I was NH Fan when I first came on here in 2011.
