The fact that RU has a large proportion of ex public schoolboys in its ranks is a reflection of the quality of sports provision and facilities in state schools.
Public schools, particularly boarding schools devote a huge amount of time to sport and this translates into a greater proportion of players making it to the higher levels in those sports that the schools concentrate on - eg RU, cricket etc. This is an indictment of state schools.
You will probably find that those who succeed in sport that went to state schools do so through the local sports club being excellent rather than anything that the school has provided.
