or is it just down to picking the best players available?

Depends what you want. If you want the “best” players at the expense of the culture of our game, which is unique, then you’d at least better be right in your choice of the “best” players at the expense of others.

Those “best” players like the instant-Englishmen Ben Te’o for example?

Could be taken either way for sure.

What is for certain is the outrage around Leinster on behalf of Devin Toner.
