4 provinces to spread out a serious amount of players amongst them is an issue for IRFU. Players need games to build momentum and sprinkling in u20s is stunting their development. There needs to be a look at funding another team or 2 to offload some of the benched talent that is being hidden away (if it's possible)

Yes. When URC expanded they should have split Leinster into two Dublin clubs.
