There has been a lot of talk about player development recently. So why don't we take a look at the most successful academy system in Europe and how they do things.
Lets take a look at Leinster.

The scapegoating will begin after this match. Individual players, coaches will be targeted.
We suggest Steve Phillips and Rob Butcher of the WRU should instead be on the recieving end of the inquisition and made to explain their reasons for hanging Welsh pro rugby out to dry.

CF10 condemns the WRU tweet regarding Rhys Carre.
We accept a coach has the right to choose his players but do not accept this tweet was appropriate.
With an ongoing investigation into the culture of the WRU, this incident does nothing to restore faith in the organisation.

Cardiff vs Newport has always been the greatest rivalry. Terry Holmes made his Cardiff debut against Newport at Rodney Parade in 1975.
"Being born in Cardiff, it was a dream come true, especially taking over from the great Gareth Edwards. Fortunately, we won the game as well."

"We weren't allowed to go far enough."
Good to hear Gareth Davies on Wales Today speaking about his attempts to modernise the union and the stiff opposition he faced from within.
Welsh rugby can't be held back any longer. The WRU must finally modernise.

Another great European memory. On this day in 2005 Jonah Lomu returned to rugby to play for

against Calvisano in the Heineken Cup. Out of rugby for 2 years after kidney surgery, he went on to play 10 times for Cardiff, becoming a firm favourite at the Arms Park.

Hayley Parson's powerful letter described the relationship between the Regions and the Union as like being in an abusive relationship.

Steve Phillips first joined the WRU in 2007. This will be his 16th year at the organisation.
He is immersed in their toxic culture. He is a product of it. And he has benefitted from it.
He must now resign from the WRU and allow the process of reform to begin.
Get on with it.

There's no way out of this for the WRU. This is something that will not be forgotten. It can't be covered up with a good 6 Nations.
Welsh rugby is now associated with male chauvinism, bullying and disrespect. All thanks to the WRU.
They can reform, or let that stain remain.

I can't believe I'm going to say this about a Newport/Dragons player, but

is an exceptional young man, role model, activist and - worst of all - a bloody good rugby player!
Such is my admiration, I'm not even sure I'd resent him scoring a winner against us.

Tonight, we have a renewed respect for everyone who has worked to progress Women's rugby in Wales.

We welcome news now being reported in the Sunday papers that Steve Phillips has resigned from the WRU.

Good morning from CF10, where we're thinking about unsung heroes.

Steve Phillips cannot survive this.
Every minute he stays in post, he prolongs the agony for Welsh rugby.

166 tries in 194 appearances.
That's 166 tries... in 194 appearances.
Gerald Cordle was the very definition of a try-scoring machine during the '80s, getting 30+ tries in three consecutive seasons.

Fair play to Ben Thomas.
Since his return from injury, he's become a mainstay of this side, starting 10 consecutive matches and playing a full 80 in every single one.
Whether at full-back, or centre, he looks calm, composed and classy

All joking aside, Steve Phillips surely must realise that he has to go now? Even if his chairman still hasn't.
Every day this only becomes worse for the WRU. This isnt one of those things that just goes away.
He must now step aside.

This is a hard one to take. The WRU have not yet paid for the use of our players and now it directly blames the pro clubs for the national team's performance.

No other union in World Rugby has dropped it's professional game into such an unacceptable situation.
Also, no other union has chosen to prioritise a "roof walk" and a beer brand at this time of all times.

Mike Rayer joined Cardiff in 1984 and played 367 games in 15 seasons. He moved to Bedford in 1996 before re-joining Cardiff in 1998. On his return to the club he was instrumental in the setting up of the Cardiff Blues Academy.

The treatment of Dmitri and Uilisi is unforgivable.
How can the WRU justify turning their backs on these stalwarts of our game?
A bit of a rant, but the last few days the anger over the situation facing the likes of Dmitri Arhip and Uilisi Halaholo, who have given so much to Welsh Rugby, has built to a crescendo.
A national embarrassment thanks to the WRU.

Rugby Union has been professional for 27 years.
Welsh rugby has spent much of that time hopping from crisis to crisis.
Over that time, the views of pro rugby fans have rarely been taken into account.

It's a good thing the WRU are doing such a good job with the community game because they've spent two decades dragging Welsh pro rugby from crisis to crisis.

“There’s enough money in the game in Wales to have four competitive professional sides but the WRU’s answer is not to invest in the game but to build a hotel and potentially cut a region.”
EXCLUSIVE- It’s my understanding that recommendations have been put forward to cut one of Wales’ four professional sides for the 2023/24 season. A decision on which one is expected over the next couple of months.
