I welcome this as a first step, which in fairness Ultan does acknowledge, however I can only guess that this does not contain all of the best available players as we have not been given any info on any overhaul in the process of identifying those best players, if there was an overhaul at all.

A lot of these videos have been posted in the age grade interpros thread already and the points you have made have been discussed already.
