Its not that high, plus Connacht complicate things by signing guys from other provinces into their own academyPeg Leg wrote:Now Simon, can you tell us the percentage of Leinster Academy products of a percentage of the other provinces?
Ulster only have 3 players that played for/came through other provinces (O'Connor, Shanahan, Ah You) 28/49 academy produced
Munster have 4 (Copeland, Arnold, Keatley, Conway) so thats 2 Leinster academy; 30/42 academy produced
Connacht have 13/24 forwards from elsewhere, 11/19 backs, from other provinces:
