Better spread of coaching education. More enjoyment. Less pressure to be with Elite squads. Better spread of players getting a higher level of coaching. Better retention of players. Higher participation.

Is Choco having a go because a few lads couldn’t handle doing a degree as well as trying to be a professional sports player?
What is Jordan Henderson’s degree in?

Where am I having a go - I’m merely stating facts - You can do with it what you like.
What the fuck has Gordon Henderson got to do with anything by the way? I couldn’t give two shits about soccer, mate - I watch it for soap opera value -
Well if you lie down with the dogs and get up with the fees you can’t really complain.

Don’t be coming on here talking smack about your thicko friends who can’t balance a bit of training and a few hours a week in a classroom or I’ll bust your fucking head. You’re being disingenuous and trying to spin a narrative and I simply will not stand for that.

I’m giving you facts, pal. I don’t care either way. But i’m not going to let the rugger propaganda run amuck here either… And it’s not just a bit of training … they train for half the day some times and lads cannot attend college obviously and training is split between Cork (2 days) and Limerick which is a couple of days lost. … And that’s if you attend UL.
You serious fam?
These guys trying to forge a career in professional sports train “half the day some times”
Woahhhhhh. That’s ridiculous stuff alright.
I worked three or 4 nights a week throughout my college life to pay my fees. Where were you then to to fight my cause

Most of the lads here barely attended 50% of their lectures, yet here we are, kings of industry at every keystroke.

You can spread the course out however long you like. Sexton took 6 or 7 years to complete his commerce degree. They have more than enough time to do it and the colleges bend over backwards for them.
It’s a shit excuse. The majority don’t have a problem getting it done.

I’ve no problem with the training, bro - but it goes from 7am to 1pm - How is that inducive to getting a degree? and then making them go to Cork for two days? - And as you well know, most of them are black-guarded and fucked off after forgoing college to give it their all - It;s disgusting the way they carry-on
Business related degrees seem to give leeway alright, Tim.
If these young Munster lads were making 30% of their lectures i’d be happy but sadly most of them drop out - Their lives ruined.

Come to the presentation and find out.
About the only part of all of this I agree with is that’s it’s difficult to become a pro rugby player and get a degree at the same time. But loads of students work their bollocks off for far less to pay for accommodation and fees and food and struggle to do their degrees as well.
Like I said you you earlier. No one forces them into the academy.
So you give a shit about rugby so?
The academy lads don’t train 7-1, maybe the odd session they come in with Senior Squad, but thats not the norm.
Like most Association Football players who go abroad. Thats the roulette wheel.
