[QUOTE="ianw16, post: 666656, member: 70803"] And if the All Blacks had been playing in the 6N, how many do you think they would have lost? Argentina haven't won a game in the 4N, but I guarantee they would win games in the 6N, particularly at home, at full strength. I stand by my point; the reason the 6N may appear more of an exciting competition to some has nothing to do with the quality of the footy played, simply that a number of the teams are much of a muchness, and this leads to closer games and a closer competition. I live in the UK, with free to air coverage of most of the games, and have quite often turned off or gone for a walk by half-time! Maybe I've been spoiled by watching the likes of NZ playing SA or Aus. Three of the teams that play in the 6N have never beaten the AB's, and another one hasn't beaten them for 61 years. The AB's winning percentage against the other two is higher than their overall winning percentage. In soccer, some people prefer the Championship to the Premier league, because it's tighter and harder to call. Doesn't mean the games themselves are of the same quality. [/QUOTE]
