It's a shame Marsile never replies to facts or reason -
especially when, yet again, they're proven to be not just wrong
but also hypocritical.
If there was even a fleeting moment of humility and recognition
that they haven't put in the research up front before playing
toddler piano on their keyboard, maybe we could start a grown-up
conversation. Until then...

The other point worth making is that, regardless of catchment
area, Premiership academies have a finite intake. They can only
take on a certain number of players each year, and they are also
only looking to fill a certain number of slots in the senior
squad each year.
The best metric of success is what proportion of academy players
go on to have a career in professional rugby. In that regard,
Quins have a pretty good hit rate, especially if you consider
players like Tizard who have left for other clubs.

And there's your error - thinking that Arsile has a point.

The Mike Brown article didn't mention that Bath had passed him
over.

Do you think Arsile actually watches any rugby, ?

Cambridge is considerably closer to Saracens than it is to
Leicester though nowhere near as close as Melksham is to Bath
compared to Twickenham.
