The benefits of the salary cap (namely survival within your means for most of the prem teams) outweigh the problems (difficult to judge, the French spend far more on player's wages than the Irish teams and yet had no representative in the final).
The reason Irish teams do well is not because they don't have a salary cap but because their best players are centrally contracted and can be better managed. The Magners league is a far lower quality tournament than that Aviva premiership though and the main targets for Leinster/Munster is the H cup.
